Mud therapy, hydrotherapy and rejuvenation
The Krinides Mud Baths, a few kilometers outside Kavala and very close to the archaeological site of Philippi, is one of the most special wellness destinations in Northern Greece. In a green place, among hills and running waters, you will find a natural space where mud and thermal waters have been used therapeutically for centuries.
The beneficial and cosmetic properties of the springs have been known since antiquity and tradition has it that the people of the area resort here for relief from pain, skin diseases and fatigue.
The curative clay of Krinides combines local and general therapeutic action. Only "mature" clay is used, rich in minerals and trace elements. It is applied either locally or throughout the body, by immersion or spreading, offering relief in chronic pain, inflammation and skin diseases.
The experience of mud therapy is unique: the body is immersed in warm clay, where it remains for a certain period of time. This is followed by rinsing and loosening, which allows minerals and trace elements to act beneficially.
At the same time, hydrotherapy, which utilises the thermal water of the area, helps relieve the symptoms of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, rheumatism and spinal problems, while helping to restore mobility and relax the muscles. The combination of warm water, steam and trace elements deeply cleanses the skin, opens the pores, removes dead cells and offers a sense of well-being and vitality.
There are organised facilities in the area, with changing rooms, showers and infrastructure that turn the visit into a complete ritual of body care.
A visit to the Mud Baths of Krinides can be combined with cultural and gastronomic routes in the wider area of Kavala and Philippi.
