I live in a country that does not celebrate halloween. but little by little the tradition has been adopted.
By not celebrating, we don't plan for those dates. but nevertheless we have places like that to which we can go with the justification of a holiday.
Thanks for sharing your trip, it really makes you feel part of the journey.
Btw, that history of Hercules sure is the tourist attraction. Imagine arriving at a place where they say "Here took a bath Hercules, the son of Zeus"
I'm glad you like the post. I don't know for sure how many of the tourists know that story about Hercules, but the thermal water is for sure making itself a good advertising. That's why most of the tourists are coming for. It's free also. I for example know that story since I was a child and that's how the town got its name.
