Ghiorghios Kontoguris
Ghiorghios Kontoguris was a notorious Greek pirate from Cephalonia, known for his clever tactics on the Danube and the Black Sea during the 18th century. Operating with a diverse crew of various nationalities, he gained infamy for using a unique ruse involving a bull with lanterns to lure ships into traps. Kontoguris met his demise at the age of 33, and his grave in Sulina remains the only pirate grave in Europe, marked by a skull and crossbones, symbolizing his piratical legacy.
