Listed 2 sub titles with search on: Information about the place for wider area of: "KAIAFAS Thermal Spring (Natural Spa) ILIA" .
Kaiafas lake is situated on the way from Pyrgos
to Kalamata, approximately
20 minutes drive from Pyrgos just before you reach Zaharo.
Kaiafas is a well known spa, its famous mineral waters gush from two caves formed
by crevices in the rocks.
The larger one is called the cave of the Anigrides, the smaller the
Geranion grotto, dwelling places of nymphs since antiquity.
The place is strangely beautiful, delightful, though the odor of the
springs does detract somewhat. Legend maintains that the centaur Nessus washed
his wound here after being struck by Heracles' poison arrow, and that is why the
water smells.
However, Kaiafas is not only sulphurous springs. It is also pine trees,
sand, sea and a long, long shore. It's hard indeed to draw yourself away from
such a sea.
