Greece is fast emerging as one of the greatest spa destinations in the world and not without reason. The country is home to more than 750 natural water spas that are enriched with minerals such as magnesia, calcium, potassium, and many more. The healing secrets of these waters have been known for more than 2000 years and they were widely used in treatments by Hippocrates, (the father of medicine).
Greece boasts numerous natural spas for therapeutical therapy, with accommodation and other facilities. Those looking for relaxing holidays spent lounging by the beach, soaking up the sun and getting a thorough pampering in the spa, certainly won't be disappointed.
Here are some spas that are especially worth a mention.
