Millions of years ago, there was a cave with thermal springs in it, on the hills near the sea. Sometime, due to erosion, the roof of the cave collapsed and formed this small and unique lake. The area and the town is called "Vouliagmeni" in Greek, meaning "sunken". The waters of the lake with constant temperatures from 21 to 27 degrees Celsius, all year round, contain minerals and salts, are ideal for healing purposes for dermatological problems, arthritis and rheumatism, gynecological and many other problems. There are spa facilities and many people are using it for healing purposes all year round. The whole area is of exceptional natural beauty and it must be the most expensive housing area in Greece. And it is only approximately 20 kilometers from Athens center.

A few days ago, I decided to take a walk on the hills above and around the lake and had the chance to take the photographs you see here.
Η λίμνη της Βουλιαγμένης σχηματίστηκε όταν ένα παλιό σπήλαιο κοντά στην θάλασσα, κατέρρευσε και βυθίστηκε εκατομύρια χρόνια πριν. Τα νερά της λίμνης είναι ιαματικά και χρησιμοποιούνται για την ανακούφιση πολλών παθήσεων.
Πριν λίγες μέρες έκανα μια βόλτα στους λόφους πάνω από την λίμνη και είχα την ευκαιρία να τραβήξω μερικές φωτογραφίες.
