Hunting Atlantis

Stel and Jess investigate previously unexamined archaeological sites along Croatia’s Adriatic coastline. They uncover an extensive network of sinkholes large enough to swallow an ancient city in its entirety. The sinkholes form a hidden landscape beneath the coastal region and span a considerable area of the shoreline.

Legend of the Adriatic is a programme presented in the form of a single episode. It falls squarely within the episode genre, offering viewers a concise, self‑contained narrative that follows a specific investigative journey. The story follows Stel and Jess as they turn their attention to archaeological locations that have yet to be examined along Croatia’s Adriatic shoreline. Their aim is to uncover what lies beneath the surface of this historically rich coastline. Working together, the pair conduct a series of digs at sites that have remained untouched by previous research. Their efforts focus on the Adriatic coast, an area known for its layered past, and they methodically explore the terrain in search of hidden artefacts and structures. During their investigations they come across a remarkable network of sinkholes. These depressions are so expansive that they could, in theory, engulf an entire ancient city, hinting at a dramatic geological event that may have reshaped the region’s history.
