Bains de boue de Krinides

Bains de boue de Krinides near Kavala in northern Greece, in the ancient Thracian plain, are oligomineral mud pools associated with the geothermal activity of the broader Northern Greek tectonic zone, offering therapeutic mud bathing in a region steeped in Macedonian and Thracian archaeological heritage. The area around Kavala is one of northern Greece's most historically layered zones — Philip II of Macedon and his son Alexander the Great drew resources from the nearby gold mines of Philippi, and the ancient city of Philippi nearby is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Krinides' mud pools add a natural therapeutic dimension to a region primarily visited for its Macedonian archaeological heritage and the beautiful coastline of the Northern Aegean.
