	Vacations in Kefalonia
		Kefalonia is the largest island of the Ionian Sea, and the 6th in size of all Greek islands.
		Nowadays the phenomenon has disappeared, most probably because the unstoppable movement of the underwater masses has stabilized the base of the rocks, but there are still people that remember the rocks moving (the writer's grandfather had seen it with his own eyes).
		Then, it’s the phenomenon of the water’s route under the island, which is described in the Photo Album of our site, as well as the phenomenon of the appearance of little snakes at the church of Panagia in Markopoulo (which is also mentioned at the Photo Album).
