We were a bit skeptical, but willing to try. We went to Therma found the bathes to be closed and would not open till 6pm.
We opted for Lefkada springs, it's a bit of a hike over rocky uneven stones. We found spring, by markers of stacked rocks. Alone we submerge ourselves into sometimes almost burning waters, mixed with the cool waters of Aegean Sea.We were there about 30 minutes. We really didn't feel anything till we climbed out. Our legs felt like they were made of rubber.
We were told by the islanders, after your bath, you must rest for at least 1 hour and do nothing that day. I can see why I was as weak as a kitten. On the ride home I slept the entire way.
My husband I now have a ritual, every other week we go to Therma, for a therapeutic massage, followed by soak in Hot springs.
