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,

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.
