Divers will be able to see a range of artefacts, including a shipwreck dating back to the fifth century, at the attraction of the Greek coast.

Visitors will see the ''planet's oldest shipwreck that can be dived through by humans'' at the museum.

The attraction does cater for those who are unable to swim by giving them a virtual reality tour of the wreckage.

The ship is believed to have sunk around 425 BC due to bad weather, according to the curator of underwater antiques.

The unnamed woman told local TV: ''This has been a big ship. We are offering to humanity the Parthenon of shipwrecks.''
