Every summer a crowd of people visit these muddy waters to relieve their pains from rheumatics, arthritics and other musculoskeletals disorders.
Κάθε καλοκαίρι πλήθος κόσμου επισκέπτεται αυτά τα λασπόνερα για να ανακουφίσει τους πόνους του από ρευματικά, αρθριτικά και άλλες μυοσκελετικές παθήσεις.
The procedure is: People put the "healing" mud all over their body and keep it for about 30 minutes until it drys out, then they dive into the sea, rinse and swim for 30-45 minutes.
Η διαδικασία που ακολουθείται είναι: Οι άνθρωποι απλώνουν σε όλο τους το σώμα την 'ιαματική' λάσπη και την αφήνουν πάνω τους για περίπου 30 λεπτά μέχρι να στεγνώσει, μετά βουτούν στη θάλασσα, ξεπλένονται και κολυμπούν για 30-45 λεπτά.
People using this mud argue that this treatment is based on the sun's rays that are absorbed by the mud and penetrate to the bones. It helps them have a calmer winter, ie they feel less pain.
Οι άνθρωποι που χρησιμοποιούν αυτή τη λάσπη υποστηρίζουν ότι αυτή η θεραπεία βασίζεται στις ακτίνες του ηλίου που με την βοήθεια της λάσπης απορροφούνται και εισχωρούν μέχρι το κόκκαλο. Αυτό τους βοηθάει να έχουν έναν πιο ήρεμο χειμώνα δηλαδή να νιώθουν λιγότερους πόνους.
Sorry the video is only in Greek.
I must give it a try one day!

I think that you don't need it yet but if someday you try it, take pictures you will have fun.

Thanks - and I was surprised to see fairly big and expensive homes along the shore.
Now, if I may grab the opportunity - and let's see if anyone knows of the place I am writing about.
More than 65 years ago, the Greek government paid for Greek children from East Africa to come to Greece for a holiday. The idea was to improve our knowledge of Greek, Greek foods and history. I think we camped somewhere close to Kammena Vourla. When the other kids returned, my brother and I stayed with the teacher, as our parents were flying to Greece to have their holiday with us. The teacher wanted to go to Salonica and took us with him.
The highway of today did not exist then, but I recall that as we came down and towards the sea, we saw a shack at the end of a jetty. We went there for breakfast (I asked for butter and honey and got lard - uggh!).
From there, we drove alongside the beach and we stopped for the teacher to show us black beach sand. He told us that it is healing sand.
I was wondering whether anybody, since then, has exploited the area.
