Description
Landing in Athens was always a thrill for me back in the days when the airport used to be right in the city. I really loved flying over the islands as we make that big turn to come in from the south. For about 30 years I had noticed what looks like a volcanic crater filled with the bluest water I have ever seen, which comes into view outside the right window about a minute before the wheels touched ground. It is called Lake Vouliagmeni and it is a mineral spa that is reported to have many healing properties for such ailments as eczema and dermatological diseases, neuralgia, headaches, disfiguring arthritis, chronic gynecological diseases, lumbago, sciatica and other problems.
