Description

Loutra

A small resort town of Loutra (Baths), which received its name due to the therapeutic geothermal springs, is located on the beach, 5,5 kilometres to the south of the settlement of Agia Paraskevi located on a hill in the south-eastern part of the peninsula of Kassandra (Chalkidiki).

Loutra are based at 120 kilometres from the international port of “Macedonia” in Thessaloniki. It has many villas, town houses, apartments and hotels. The main occupations of the local population are fishing, beekeeping, cultivation of olive trees and tourism.  

For many centuries, this place enjoys health-giving springs, healing various illnesses. To this day, Loutra is famous for rare medicinal qualities of its hot springs with unique composition of elements and average temperature of 37,5 – 39 ⁰C. In addition, the place is known for its unique beauty: beaches of golden sand, rocks, pine trees and turquoise sea create a unique picture of tremendous beauty. Labyrinthine caves of the rocky mountains are harmonically combined with the evergreen pine trees that reach the sea.
 

History
 
According to a legend, the first wellspring was discovered in Loutra by one of the villagers who was seeking for sulphur for his vineyard.  

After the World War II, residents of Loutra blew up a rock with dynamite, after which appeared a spring of hydrogen sulphide of 39 ⁰C that resulted in the formation of a new thermal power, which was originally named in honour of St. Nicholas (Agios Nikolaos), and only later it was renamed as Agia Paraskevi.
 

Initially, there was an erected small structure consisting of two rooms. However, in 2000 this place was enriched by establishing a new modern building of water clinic Lutropoli (thermal town), which was devoted to the Life-giving Wellspring (Zoodohu piggi), in the honour of which they also erected a small church.  

Healing qualities of geothermal sources
 
Modern hydro clinic (SPA) of the village Agia Paraskevi (with pool, sauna, hammam and Jacuzzi) gained wide popularity due to its rare curative qualities that are suitable for all ages without exception. It works for recovery as well as rejuvenation.  

It is not by accident that it is considered one of the best in the world, as fully satisfying the need for relaxation for the modern busy man. It enjoys beautiful environment and the provision of high quality health services.                                                          

On the basis of the research on the use of geothermal sources of Agia Paraskevi, conducted by a team of Greek scientists in conjunction with the Freiberg University of Mining and Technology (West Germany), the water from these wellsprings is recommended for the following diseases: pain in bones and joints/muscles, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (Bechterew’s disease and Marie-Strümpell disease), osteoarthritis (degenerative arthritis or degenerative joint disease or osteoarthrosis) and gouty arthritis (podagra), discopathy (disease of an intervertebral disk), myositis/myalgia, tendonitis (inflammation of a tendon), old fractures, cervical syndrome as well as skin diseases, urticaria, psoriasis, acne, ekzemoobraznye, urological and gynecological diseases, chronic cystitis and inflammatory processes.
