Loutraki, Greece

List of hotels in Loutraki

  Loutraki is a town built on the foothills of the Gerania range on the soil of Central Greece, yet still part of Corinthia prefecture. The cloudless sky is reflected in the sea. You watch the carefree movements of the people on the beach, swimming and tanning themselves in the summer sun.

  A unique combination of climatological conditions and natural surroundings makes Loutraki a privileged place. Having a temperate Mediterranean climate, breezes scented with iodine from the crystalline sea, it has superb beaches. Its prolonged sunshine throughout the year and lack of humidity are particularly favorable for health tourism and for natural post - treatment recovery.

  Situated at the east end of the Gulf of Korinth the ancient city of Thermae - today's Loutraki - was held to be beloved of the gods and was the first health resort to be recorded in the annals of world history.

  The name Thermae comes from Artemis Thermia, the protectress of hot mineral springs. Both Apollo, the god of the sun and of spiritual peace, and Hera, the mother of the gods, were worshipped at temples there. Reports of the use of the mineral springs of Loutraki for therapeutic reasons have come down to us from deep in the mists of time; the first written mention of the baths at Thermae is by Xenophon in his "Hellenica". During the Roman era, Sulla was cured by the springs of Loutraki, as were those who sought therapy at the Roman Baths which had been constructed at Thermae. Furthermore, in the Byzantine years, the erection of a church near the hot springs indicates that the mineral waters were able to ease much suffering.

  In 1855, the first municipal enterprise to exploit the springs opened, providing organised facilities for those who travelled to Loutraki "to take the waters".

  Since 1936 Loutraki has been a station for hot baths, winning the accolade of first Center for Lithiasis in Greece and in the Eastem Mediterranean. In the past few decades the waters of Loutraki have attracted the interest of medical circles, being considered comparable to the famous waters of Vichy, Evian and Perrier, and they have been the subject of many scientific and medical studies.

  Today, Loutraki with three ultramodern hydrotherapy installations, fully equipped for treatment using baths, drinking and physiotherapy, as well as impeccable facilities for tourists, fully merits its ranking among the finest organized health resorts internationally.
