Venture just outside of the capital to soak in the healing, mineral-rich waters of Lake Vouliagmeni. Springs up to 100 m (328 ft) deep are the source of the thermal water, which is between 22-29 C (72-84 F) year-round. Try out the fish spa, where small fish nibble gently on the dead cells of your hands and feet, leaving your skin clean and refreshed. If swimming doesn't interest you, yoga and pilates classes are also offered. The area surrounding the lake is good for hiking, biking, and walking among tall pine trees.

Colder than expected but a lovely place to swim. Vegans beware there is nothing for you! Except wine and beer of course! The train and bus were easy, lovely coves nearby too if you stay on an extra...

Wow! do not miss. Of all the attractions outside the center of Athens, this is a must-do attraction, unequivocally. If you come in warm months, don't give up. An amazing lake, clear and with all the best facilities and service. It is a lake with water at a fairly constant temperature. There are sunbeds, tables and chairs and even some individual double beds on the waterfront (you have to book them in advance). There are small fish in the water that eat the dry skin. At first it tickles like crazy, but you get used to it pretty quickly. There is enough space for everyone and you don't have to rush and run early in the morning. The recommended and discounted way to get to the place from the center of Athens is by metro red line and get off at the last stop - Elliniko From there take a taxi or Uber at a cost of about 12-14 euros and you are there. Don't wait for line 122, it never comes. In any case, there is a restaurant and a bar where you can order food for a sunbed. The toilets are very clean and there are even private and clean showers, take your clothes and shower there! Enjoy!

A very nice lake, we went at night. No one was swimming but the restaurant was open, so we ordered dinner. It was expensive 100 euro for three persons.
