There are some legends circulate, but the reality is more prosaic. The Olympia was in fact named "Inland" (which is quite ironic). The wreck is not in Kalotaritissa Bay, but a little further to the east. The boat was not attacked by pirates, it tried to shelter from the wind thinking to find a safe haven, but was driven against the rocks.
