Lake Vouliagmeni and its medicinal waters
The Lake Vouliagmeni is not only famous as a very beautiful spot
but also but also as containing medicinal waters. This spot has
been visited by people who wish to enjoy its waters for
centuries, and is one of the most attractive areas in the Greek
region of Peloponnese. Visitors approach in order to enjoy its
beautiful shores, practice different water sports, relax in
front of unique landscapes, taste excellent local dishes, and
have a great time in a picturesque environment.
Lake Vouliagmeni has an extension of about 26 km or 15 miles,
and is located within the municipality called after it,
Vouliagmeni, at about 20 kilometers from the central area of
Athens. This lake provides an ideal destination for all those
who enjoy water related activities, and it is very common to see
visitors fishing, swimming and even windsurfing in this region.
The municipality of Vouliagmeni has a population of about 4000
inhabitants, and offers a very beautiful scenery which combines
the attractive of the water which the charm of an appealing
mountainous background provided by the Hymettus mountains. This
municipality has many
beautiful beaches and shores, some of them
by the sea and some others provided by Lake Vouliagmeni, but all
of them beautiful and ideal for relaxing while observing unique
sights.
Lake Vouliagmeni's waters partially come from underground
currents from Mount Hymettus. This lake is at about 40 cm from
the regular level of the ground and one of its most peculiar and
appealing characteristics is based on the fact that its waters
offer a constant temperature of about 24º C, a fact placed among
the first qualities in the list of the lake's attractions.
Before the middle Ages, Lake Vouliagmeni was a cavern. This
cavern became the actual lake after an important earthquake
caused it to collapse and take the actual shape and
characteristics. Nowadays, the lake can be still traced into
Mount Hymettus, and it is possible to see, now and then, some
experienced divers exploring it, although it is not
recommendable to amateurs due to the important risks it implies.
