Katavothres, a strange but unique phenomenon.

Next to the camping you will find Katavothres where a strange but unique phenomenon takes place. Sea water enters the island underground and travels to Karavomilos Lake and Melissani Cave.

This phenomenon was discovered in 1963 from the geologists Viktor Maurin and Jozef Zotl from Grats University when they threw in the water 160 kg of coloured paint from Katavothres and 2 weeks later the coloured paint was found on the other side of the island.
