    Limni Vouliagmenis

    A small brackish-water lake fed by underground currents seeping through the mass of Mount Hymettus. The Lake 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. The lagoon formed approximately 2,000 years ago. It was once a large cavern that collapsed following an earthquake. The outline of the collapsed cavern roof can be clearly discerned from a distance. The lake is recognized as a wonder of nature because of its unique appearance and the surroundings.
