According to this Independent report, a submerged Bronze Age town in the southern Peloponnese has been thoroughly surveyed and digitally recreated. The article states that the name of the town is unknown, but this BBC article clearly names the site as the submerged town of Pavlopetri in Cavo Maleas.
Here is the link to the photographs of the re-created town, and another article about the CGI technology used to re-create the site.
The BBC article paints a vivid picture of a thriving prehistoric community that lived in relative comfort and luxury.
Apparently there is a BBC 2 documentary that's coming up somewhere in the UK and hopefully we'll be able to see soon in the rest of the world. From the still images it sure looks spectacular.
Here is the exact location of Pavlopetri placemarked on the ancient-greece.org map

Semi-detached houses with gardens, clothes drying in the courtyards, walls and well-made streets - Pavlopetri epitomises the suburban way of life. Except that it's a Bronze Age port, submerged for millennia off the south-east coast of Greece.
