Generally
Kamena Vourla is a seaside town in the regional unit of Fthiotida. It is located on the NW coast of the North Evian Gulf, while just behind the city rise the slopes of Mount Kallidromos and specifically Mount Knimis. The favorable position that Kamena Vourla had near Athens, from which it is 175 km away, on the E.O. Athens - Thessaloniki, and just 40 km from Lamia, as well as the combination of sea and forested mountain turned the area into a remarkable resort, especially in the 1960s and 1970s. Today they are still an important tourist spa, attracting mainly tourists from nearby areas, in particular for its therapeutic sources.
The thermal springs of Kamena Vourla became known around 1926, in the interwar period, when the chemist Michael Pertesis discovered that their radon content was unique and superior to similar European sources, thus determining their great benefit to humans. So in the 1930s, about ten years later, they began to be used and the first modern hotels were built in the city. After the war, Kamena Vourla gained a great reputation by attracting personalities from all over the world.
