Greece: Natural Spas
Spa bathing in Greece, a remedy for stress and illness for thousands of years, is now being re-discovered by national celebrities, tourists and locals alike. All over the country, deep underground streams of hot mineral-rich water bubble to the surface and are used to soak away tension, aches and pains, and even to treat chronic ailments. Some spas are in natural settings of great beauty- like a waterfall of warm water hidden in a forest glade. Others are modern and luxurious, equipped with state-of-the-art machinery and gadgets designed to pamper, relax and promote healing. I 've traveled the length and breadth of the country in an old Mercedes tracking down little-known spas and checking out the variety of treatments in the better-known ones. I have talked to many enthusiastic patrons from various nations and all walks of life. I describe this journey as one of life 's memorable experiences that leaves its traces on your soul and body.
