• Katavothres - The sinks of Argostoli are often regarded as another “mystery” by many in Kefalonia. At the edge of the Argostoli Peninsula, the sea enters the land and flows into sinkholes. This phenomenon has puzzled scientists for a long time. In 1963, geologists Viktor Maurin and Josef Zötl from the University of Graz poured 160 kilograms of paint into one of the sinks. Two weeks later, traces of the color appeared in springs on the opposite side of the island, 14 km away, as well as in the Melissani lake cave. The sinks are essentially karstic gaps through which river waters flowing into the polga are drained. Interestingly, the sinks of Argostoli form a system of crevices located below sea level, constantly receiving seawater with force, creating a coastal abyss with a continuous inflow of seawater. Many scientists suggest that fresh water descends underground from Ainos, with an estimated 1,000 cubic meters lost every 24 hours.
