For those that understand Greek don’t let the unpromising name put you off: Vromoneri (meaning ‘dirty water’) took its name from the mineral springs with sulfurous water, that in some rare occasions expels smelly. The springs have medicinal properties and are considered the most important in the area. The water has a constant temperature of 19.5 degrees Celsius and helps to treat respiratory problems, skin diseases, arthritis etc. In the past, water from the springs was widely used for drinking therapy, and baths were very popular. Unfortunately, today, the main building of the baths is not operating.

The access to the beach is easy, located 7 km southern from Gargaliani or 6 km from Marathopoli. From the southern areas for example Romanos (to Gargaliani road) the distance is around 10km.

Another option, especially when the companions are kids and elderly people, drive till the end drop off your stuff and make a U-turn to park the car in a safe place. There are also stairs on the south part of the beach.
