Vouliagmeni Lake

Today we ventured 20 km south of Athens to Vouliagmeni where we relaxed by a lake. This however is no ordinary lake but is advertised as a natural spa lake. The water is replenished by both the sea and thermal springs. The waters also include fish known as Garra Rufa which offer skin exfoliation. One nibbled my ankle, but I wore water shoes and they mostly go for the feet. The others with us enjoyed this, but I didn't partake in this feature. The beauty of the place is in the scenery as it was once a large cavern that collapsed during an earthquake in the middle ages.

Today was full of firsts for me. Not only was it my first time to this healing spa lake, but it was my first time using Uber (as pictured above) and the Athens Metro and Bus system. Uber was great. The others not so much as they were crowded and stinky.

As promised from yesterday, here are my National Gardens pictures.

There is a goat in there, but it's difficult to see him.
