Archaeology
It has since the ancient years considered to be a strategic location. On the east side you can find the ruins of a great Byzantine - Venetian Castle. During the Middle Ages the island served as a refuge for Albanian settlers' animals.[1]
Dokos, according to archaeological studies, was found to be inhabited since the era of copper, 6000 BC.[citation needed] In 1975 Peter Throckmorton discovered in Dokos a wreck that is considered to be the oldest wreck of the planet.[citation needed] It is dated between 2500 and 2000 BC.
