The ruins of a Greek village that lay submerged for decades have re-appeared after record temperatures caused a major reservoir to partially dry up.
The ruins of a Greek village that lay submerged for decades have re-appeared after record temperatures caused a major reservoir to partially dry up.
Residents of the village of Kallio were forced to evacuate their homes more than 40 years ago to make way for the Mornos dam in southern Greece, which supplies water to the capital, Athens.
Drought conditions in recent months caused the reservoir's water levels to drop dramatically, revealing what remained of several homes and a school.
It is only the second time since Kallio was abandoned that the village has been seen.
The first time was in the 1990s during another period of drought.
