2day Excursion to the Springs of Smokovo Karditsa, transfer from Thessaloniki, on 26-27 Feb.
Activity Description
In this excursion we will combine the dynamism of mountain hiking with the relaxing properties of the thermal springs !!!
The thermal waters gush from five springs at a natural temperature of 37 to 40.2 degrees Celsius and are channeled to the hydrotherapy center. They have an alkaline sulfide composition, a slight odor of hydrogen sulfide and are considered one of the best in Greece. After their recent modernization, everything is in excellent condition.
