Valley of the Seven Springs, Lindos, Rhodes, Greece
Not far from the city of Lindos there is the Valley of the Seven Sources or simply "7 Sources" , so named precisely because in one place just these 7 sources beat out of the ground. The highlight of the place is this 186-meter tunnel, through which flows a stream, combined from these sources.
According to local legends, a man who has passed through a tunnel is written off 7 sins "acquired" in Rhodes, and a woman is rejuvenated by 7 years!
Well, how not to take advantage of this opportunity!
Right here on the spot, you can already begin to enjoy life and refresh yourself after a walk.
In fact, the passage is very impressive! A few meters into the tunnel - and complete darkness, one might say blackness. Not the slightest ray of light. Narrow, low, closer to the end of the tunnel, a tall person will not be able to straighten up to his full height. Cool water is ankle-deep, a fairly strong current, from the sounds - only the sound of water ... Passing through the tunnel does not take long, 2-3 minutes. But during that time you are in a state of ignorance, unpredictability. You understand that everything is in order, soon the end of the tunnel and there will be light. And life will go on. But during these few minutes in ignorance, you begin to appreciate life so much! Yes, what a rejuvenation there! After exiting the tunnel, you are so happy, you love LIFE and everyone around you so much!!! J
