About the
cave thermal bath
The way from
a public pond to an entertainment bath
During the 16 century the hot water
spring which was used by the Turks, the emperor’s troops garrisoned nearby, the
Greek merchants and the women of the surrounding settlements for bathing, curing
and washing became more and more well known and thus more frequented and more
widely known.
During the development process, started in 1998 and lasting for
years, the hall of reception and the two thermal pools were reconstructed. The
waterfall (massaging shower) was renewed, by the disclosure of new cave shafts,
the water area suitable for bathing increased, and by the enclosure of the park
area in front of the main building, a sunbathing garden with a children’s pool
was formed. On the left of the main building, a multi-storey building for
therapeutical purposes was constructed providing place for a rheumatologic
surgery, hydrotherapy, refreshing massage, mud treatment, tangentor, medical
massage, electro-therapy, sauna, solarium and a chiropodist’s.
The modernisation of the
changing rooms upstairs, the improvement of the machinery of the building
compound had finished by the end of 2001. The services offered by the spa are
complete with a jacuzzi, heated benches in the bathing area, hydro-massage
closets, sluiced swinging doors, a restaurant, a system of safes for safekeeping
valuables and a beauty parlour.
In July 2002, the General Management of the
National Chief Medical Officer’s Office declared the bath a medicinal bath and
classified it into a national category considering its medicinal value; at the
same time, the name of the institution changed to Cave and Thermal Medicinal
Bath.
By September 2002 the main building and the bathing hall with a
relaxing terrace, boarded by a rock wall in the height, had been finished,
which, with its water of 120 square m increases the water surface used for
entertainment and medical treatment to 1267 square m.
