Krinides mud baths

The Krinides Clay Spa, or otherwise “mud baths” as the locals usually call it, has been for thousands of years a “sustainable laboratory of nature” that prepares this precious material with amazing precision. It is one of the best in the Balkans and one of the few of its kind. In the past, geological, ecological, biological, chemical conditions and complex physical mechanisms were favorable as they created the appropriate environment from which and in which healing clay was naturally prepared and matured. Clay therapy is based on the use of so-called “mature” clay. The application of the clay can be total or partial, by immersing the body in it or by applying it. The therapeutic action of the clay is twofold: it exerts a local (on the skin surface) and general action. The action of clay therapy is mainly due to three factors: mechanical, thermal and chemical.
