The sinks of Argostoli have been considered another "mystery" by many of Kefalonia. At the edge of the Argostoli Peninsula the sea penetrates the land and flows into sinkholes. The phenomenon has long troubled scientists. In 1963, geologists Viktor Maurin and Josef Zötl of the University of Graz threw 160 kilograms of paint into one of the sinks. Two weeks later traces of color were found in springs on the other side of the island, 14 km away, as well as in the Melissani lake cave.The sinks are nothing more than karstic gaps through which the waters of the rivers that flow into the polga are drained. The strange thing is that the sinks of Argostoli are a system of crevices that are located at a lower level than the sea surface and constantly receive its waters with momentum, a kind of coastal abyss with a constant inflow of sea water. Many scientists claim that fresh water descends underground from Ainos, it is estimated that 1,000 cubic meters per 24 hours, are lost.

Even the common areas are impressive, with the lawn having its place of honor and the giant palm trees dominating the main square.

The Castle of Agios Georgios is built on a hill at a distance of 7 km from Argostoli and dominates the southern part of Kefalonia and the bay of Argostoli. The castle began to be built during the Frankish occupation but expanded and acquired strategic importance during the Venetian occupation. For many years it was the administrative center of Kefalonia until the capital was moved to Argostoli in the 18th century. Despite the damage caused by the earthquakes, but also the wear and tear of time, the castle of Agios Georgios remains impressive today, as a typical example of Venetian fortification art.
