Great Excursion - Beautiful lake and scenery. Swam for over an hour and felt rejuvenated. We had a wonderful driver who was very informative about the area, Greek history and the landmarks. This is a definite must do if you have time. Just about 30 minutes outside Athens City.

Fish, Feet and Fun! - Alex was wonderful! He answered questions as we asked them and provided a nice experience. The lake was beautiful, too windy for me to swim, but putting my feet in the water was nice. The fish made for a wild experience and brought plenty of giggles. Lunch was also delicious! Note that you must pay the entrance fees for the lake in addition to the tour price.

Hidden gem, not to be missed - Pack your swim gear on your city break to Athens! Amazing geo-thermal lake, about 30-45 mins downtown from Athens city centre. Can reach direct via the Hop-On Hop-Off bus. This is a private venue and you'll pay 15-20 euros per head to enter. Once inside there are deckchairs to use on a boarded platform next to the lake. There is a decent cafe on site which can bring food to your seats. You could easily spend all day here, away from the beach hordes. The lake shoreline is shallow but full of the tiny fish that nibble your toes to eat the dead skin, so can be off-putting for some. Once in the water, they don't bother swimmers and you can swim in water as deep as 18 metres in a quite stunning setting. Water temperature is @23-25 degrees: not warm but not cold either. In the Athens summer, a cooling joy. Shower/changing facilities are very clean but likely involve a long wait to use in high season. There are free lockers. Pack a towel, or two. Small tip: outside the venue you can catch the 122 bus to the nearest metro stop of Hellinko and be back in the city centre quickly.

Beautiful trip to the lake! - The ride to the lake was beautiful along the Athenian coast. Our driver pointed out any interesting points, and answered all of her questions about any buildings we saw along the way. Our driver was easy to communicate with about the pick up at the end of the visit and allowed us to stop for lunch. The Lake is absolutely spectacular. The water is clear and there is room for quite a crowd. Someone will come to your seat and take your order for a drink or food. Beautiful way to spend a day.

Amazing Lake experience - At first looking at the trip, I wasn't sure what to expect. Once I got there, it was amazing. The beauty of the lake, the atmosphere and the drinks were great! I had never had the little fish eating at my feet, never wanted to, but so glad I decided to do this. It was amazing! Fish were nibbling but it wasn't something scary or bad. It's just a tickly feeling. I am glad we decided to take this trip. We did the lunch after. The drive to the restaurant was beautiful. The meal was great. This is a must when you go to Athens. It's 2 hours at the Lake, just relaxing and then you can choose the lunch option.

Well worth a visit add the lunch option - Driver very friendly and helpful. The lake was very clean and even though it was a cold windy day the water was managable. If you sit on the steps in the water you will get an amazing fish pedicure. We chose to add the lunch option in beach taverns, food and service were great.

MISLEADING TITLE!! YOU STILL PAY FOR ADMISSION!!! - Firstly, all love to our drivers George and Chris. Fantastic talking with them, they’re so kind and knowledgeable, and I hope they flourish for the rest of their lives. Secondly, you are not actually paying for admission to the thermal spa. The spa opens March 15th, and we were here March 3rd, so the spa was closed. And we had to pay an extra 19 euros for admission to the lake. So don’t say “thermal spa” in the title and then not include the actual admission to the spa. What you are paying for is the chauffeur and the lunch that you aren’t advised to spend over 70€ on. Even though our price tag for the whole experience plus lunch was like $340 for 2 adults. Our “culinary gift” was two plastic water bottles. Also, the word “thermal” is misleading. “Thermal” in this lake does not automatically mean “warm.” It means “less cold than the ocean.” Overall, you can get a taxi and pay significantly less. You don’t need a third party chauffeur to take you to the lake. (One more time, to George and Chris. You two were so cool and we’ll remember you forever 💛)
