    Hiking

    Here the seawater from Argostoli, mixed with groundwater, flows back into the sea

    Hiking

    Located right next to a tavern, this highlight can be wonderfully combined with a visit to the Melissani Cave.

    Hiking

    The mouth of the Argostoli sea canal is a unique geological phenomenon worldwide.

    At this place, known as Katavothres (which means "chasms" or "sinkholes"), the seawater flows seemingly paradoxically inland.

    The seawater disappears into the sinkholes at Argostoli and travels through the island underground via a complex cave system.

    After a journey of about 15
    kilometers, which takes approx. 14 days, the water re-emerges on the other side of the island at Karavomilos near Sami.
