This tiny lake, surrounded by steep rocks, is located near the sea. Its depth remains a mystery as several divers have drowned in it over the years while attempting to explore the underwater tunnel system. However, most people go to Vouliagmeni for less dangerous pursuits. The sulphurous thermal water of the lake is used for curative baths against rheumatic, spinal, gynecological, neurological and skin problems. For this purpose, hydrotherapy is offered from May to October. The temperature of the water never drops below 21 degrees centigrade so it is also used by bathers during the winter. There are showers and changing cabins as well as a cafeteria and restaurant.
