I have seen pictures of Aristotle Onassis and Jacqueline Kennedy alighting on the island from the yacht bearing Onassis's daguhters name "Christina", I have followed the tragic history of both families and often wondered about this little island paradise and now many many years later I came across it and swam to its beaches. The island of Scorpios is legendary in the life of one of the richest men in the world at the time- Aristotle Onassis. His origins were in Asia Minor and he made his wealth in Argentina and then eventually back in Greece as one of the biggest shipowners of all times.
His one and only son, Alexander was killed in the plane he was piloting and his daughter Christina lead a tormented and unhappy life eventually dying in Argentina under mysterious circumstances. Onassis himself died in 1975 and the only person left of the family is Athina Roussel, his grandaughter who now also lives in Argentina very much away from the public media.

I wonder who ever comes to the island ? It is beautiful and green with lots of vegetation and protected areas. It is a place which seems to be tinged with sadness, but perhaps that is my own take on it.
We also visited the cave of Papanicolaou who was a Greek fighter who took refuge in this stunning cave and caused great damage to German war boats.
Is it not a private island? Interesting!
ReplyDeleteEvaporative cooling is a physical phenomenon in which evaporation of a liquid, typically into surrounding air, cools an object or a liquid in contact with it. Latent heat describes the amount of heat that is needed to evaporate the liquid; this heat comes from the liquid itself and the surrounding gas and surfaces. When considering water evaporating into air, the wet-bulb temperature, between the two temperatures, the better the evaporative cooling effects. When the temperatures are the same, no net evaporation of water in air occurs, thus there is no cooling effect.
