Answer:
WHERE WATER FLOWS UPHILL
An experiment using green-dyed water established long ago that something strange was happening in Kefalonia – and nothing has changed. MARTYN FARR reports from a unique Greek diving destination.
With its balmy Mediterranean climate, clear waters and rich historical background, few would question Kefalonia’s potential as a holiday destination. But apart from its obvious charm and featuring in the 2001 war film Captain Corelli’s Mandolin (starring Nicolas Cage), Kefalonia also presents a unique phenomenon that has intrigued scientists for nearly 200 years.
Here, at a discreet point on a peninsula, the sea flows into the land – and the water eventually reappears on the other side of the island.
I’ve been a cave-diver for 46 years, and had heard of this unusual phenomenon very early on in my diving career. The intriguing situation was recorded at Katavothres, on the headland near the capital Argostoli. As early as 1835 an Englishman called Stevenson documented the disappearing water, and subsequently a small water-wheel was constructed to operate a corn mill.
