The Vouliagmeni lake, ideal place for relaxation and wellness treatment in Attica, Greece.
The Vouliagmeni lake, ideal place for relaxation and wellness treatment in Attica, Greece. Vouliagmenis’s Lake is located on the South Coast of Athens, by the seaside of the Saronic Gulf. The Lake is recognized as an important Monument of Nature, because of its marvelous surroundings and its natural location. The Lake’s impressive shape was formed by geological changes that were unable to be chronologically specified. The scientific research came to the conclusion that where the Lake stands now, millions of years ago, a huge underground cave existed. The walls of the cave suffered erosion, because of the high temperature hot springs that were streaming inside, causing the roof to collapse and ending with the ground’s sinking. The water of the Lake gushes from its water springs located 50 to 100m underground. The water’s temperature remains stable between 21ο C and 27ο C. The level of the Lake’s water is half a meter above the sea level making it to move towards the sea, therefore, keeping its waters constantly renewed.
