According to a translation of the press release from the Greek Ministry of Culture, research in the waters east of Tolo has been ongoing since 2021. An initial survey of the area began that year, followed by the creation of a new five-year program that began in 2022.

Off the coast of Kastraki Beach, underwater archaeologists conducted a survey that quickly revealed the remains of a large port facility. During this initial survey, archaeologists used photogrammetry to document a “large artificial plateau” containing “rooms and building structures” that appeared to be residential.
