Sinkholes of Argostoli - The Katavothres Water Wheels in Argostoli, Kefalonia, are a fascinating natural phenomenon. These water wheels are located at the entrance of a small bay where seawater flows into sinkholes in the ground. The water then disappears underground, traveling through a network of underground channels.
What makes the Katavothres Water Wheels particularly intriguing is that the water that flows into the bay eventually resurfaces several kilometers away on the other side of the island at the Melissani Lake, creating a remarkable hydrological connection.
