North of the monastery of Virgin Mary and on the left bank of Sarantaporos you will find the therapeutic springs of Kavasila that contain sulfur (altitude: 410 meters). They are 5.5 kilometers away from the settlement (and about 16,5 kilometers from Konitsa) and have the proper facilities for therapeutic baths.
The springs are considered to be ideal for the cure of rheumatisms as well as skin, orthopedic and gynecological ailments. In addition, inhaling contributes to the cure of ailments of the respiratory system such as asthmatic conditions, bronchitis, chronic respiratory problems, rhinitis, pharyngitis etc. Moreover, drinking that water helps overcoming digestive conditions and problems of the liver, gallbladder and kidneys. Except for the water, the mud, with which the patients often cover themselves, has also therapeutic abilities.
The therapeutic qualities of the waters were known since the middle byzantine era for healing fractures. The springs that were located on the other bank of Sarantaporos near the village Pixaria were destroyed during the World War II.
The facilities consist of a large pool, where the water reaches up to 38Co, as well as a water-spring with two rooms, one for men and one for women. There is also an outdoor pool, where the average temperature is around 32Co.
In the facilities there is also a medical practice and a coffee house-restaurant. The springs are open only during the summer (from the 1st of June till the 30th of September).
