7. This is Athens
“One of my favorite spots in Athens, and one most tourists don’t know about, is Lake Vouliagmeni. Where the sea and underground, thermal springs meet and have been healing aching muscles since ancient times. Open year-round, the water at Lake Vouliagmenis remains at a balmy 70 degrees and is a mixture of sea and stream water that makes it rich with minerals. Far less crowded than the nearby beaches, the grounds also offer open-air massages and yoga classes. An early morning hike surrounding the Faskomilia Hill, will offer expansive views of the Riviera followed by a refreshing dip post workout. In the summer months, music nights are held against an illuminated natural backdrop of the caves.”
