Lake Vouliagmeni
Your first stop is the breathtaking Lake Vouliagmeni, a natural thermal spa nestled at the foot of limestone cliffs along the Athenian Riviera. Accompanied by your host, you’ll learn about the lake’s geological formation and its therapeutic properties as you approach this peaceful oasis.
Walk down to the water’s edge to admire the shimmering turquoise surface, fed by underground springs that keep the temperature naturally warm year-round. Take time to swim or soak your feet, letting the mineral-rich waters relax your body.
If you prefer to stay dry, unwind at the lakeside café surrounded by lush greenery, where you can enjoy a coffee or fresh juice.
