Hidden treasures - Vouliagmeni Lake
DSC_0582
Vouliagmeni Lake is at the centre of a wider region marked by an exceptional coastline, with beautiful beaches and hillsides hidden in the shadows of pine trees. It is where nature of the Mediterranean finds its best expression.
The imposing rock, thermal waters, the labyrinthine underwater tunnels and the lush vegetation create a unique geological phenomenon. The lake’s present form was created after the roof of the cave fell because of erosion caused by the high temperature of the running water running. The lake is included in Greece’s national NATURA 2000 network, and is classified as a protected wetland from the international RAMSAR Convention, while the Culture Ministry has labelled it as a Place of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Vouliagmeni Lake, in the heart of the Athenian Riviera, is the hidden treasure of Attica’s nature. Situated on an idyllic landscape, this rare geological phenomenon is waiting to be discovered. The lake’s brackish waters which are continuously replenished both by the sea and the underground thermal springs offer a natural and unique thermal spa experience.
