About
Gwadar District in Balochistan is home to the historical account of Greek admiral Nearchos's sea voyage along its coastline around 325 BC. The region was known as Makran during this period, and according to records incorporated into Arrian’s *Indica*, it served as a challenging yet significant route for naval expeditions from the Indus Delta towards the Persian Gulf. Nearchos's journal offers valuable insights about ancient inhabitants of Gwadar District like Ichthyophagi or 'fish-eaters.'
