Monument in honor of the fallen heroic officers and sailors of the destroyer 'Adrias' (the ship that refused to die!). Having excelled in difficult conditions during the period 1942-1943 in the Mediterranean and the North Atlantic, sinking, among others, two German U-boats, it lost its bow hit by a mine on 22/10/1943, off Kalymnos, and despite everything managed to reach the coast of Asia Minor safely after a difficult 3.5-hour journey.
