Known as Limanakia, or 'small ports', these little coves with rocky beaches and blue-green waters are particularly popular among Athenians.Ideal for relaxation and diving, the rough-hewn Limanakia are a favourite destination of the young, nudists and scuba-divers.
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. It was also a mysterious place because popular urban mythology said that some American scuba divers from the US Airbase nearby, disappeared while exploring the undersea caves that fed the lake in the late sixties. Then a couple years ago their bodies were discovered, more than 35 years later!
