Smokovo's Thermal Springs
Combine the mountain excursion with the Thermal Baths. At a distance of 20 minutes drive from Menelais Guesthouse are the Smokovo Thermal Baths. The Thermal Baths are "hidden" in a green ravine, at an altitude of 450 m and are 6 km from the village of Smokovos (Loutropigi). The thermal waters gush from five springs at a natural temperature of 37 to 40.2 ° C and are channeled to the hydrotherapy center. They are characterized by sulfide-alkaline composition, light smell of hydrogen sulfide and are considered one of the best in Greece. The thermal springs are recommended for respiratory diseases, rheumatism, arthritis, neuralgia, myalgias, skin diseases, and gynecological diseases. The treatment with thermal water has been known in our country since ancient times not only on an empirical but also on a scientific level, a fact that is proved by the great involvement of the ancient Greeks with the thermal waters and their properties.
