Some more intriguing details about Sapientza
And you may already have been charmed by the sight of the unique beach with sparkling waters, but Sapientza has other peculiar and fascinating features! Did you know, for instance, that very close to it and specifically to its southwest lies the deepest point of the Mediterranean? You will hear it called the trench or pit of Oinousses and it has a depth of 5,121 meters.
Moreover, How did it get its name? This name was bestowed on it by the Venetians and means wisdom. And it was given to this island thanks to the strong maritime tradition of the time for safe journeys in the waters off Methoni. Finally, Sapientza still has something rare. It has the only evergreen broadleaf forest in the Mediterranean, which surpasses 10 meters in height. There are also bushy Mediterranean plants, such as arbutus or mastic. It is no wonder that it has been declared a protected monument of nature!
