Greece, due to the volcanic soil of many of its regions, has plenty of mineral and thermal springs, others are used and others are not. Altogether over 750 thermal springs have been counted. The thermal springs are differentiated on the basis of the metallic and chemical elements and the temperature of the water, but also its other properties. So there are chlorate or hydrochloric acid, acid, radioactive, sulphide, etc. Based on these data, experts have classified the sources according to the diseases for which they are indicated. Nowadays, the Hellenic Association of Thermal Springs has embarked on a systematic effort for characterization and licensing on the basis of the modern specifications of the thermal springs in order to strengthen the thermal tourism in our country.
