History reveals the profound importance that the ancient Greeks attached to “beauty,” a sacred gift personified by the goddess Aphrodite In the 7th century, Athens bore witness to a plethora of societies experimenting with olive oil elixirs infused with the essence of Greek herbs, flowers, and fruits. These elixirs were highly esteemed for their remarkable ability to harmonize the soul and body, while simultaneously nourishing the skin.
At Soma Spa Santorini, we draw inspiration from these time-honored Greek traditions and seamlessly blend them with modern, state-of-the-art facials and body therapy techniques.
The pioneers of medicine, Hippocrates and Asclepius, harnessed the power of herbs and flowers, often combining them with olive and laurel oil. These natural concoctions were employed to treat various bodily conditions, and the therapists of that era employed simple massage techniques known as “masso.” It’s interesting to note that while the practice of kneading originated in the Far East, it first gained medical significance in Ancient Greece around 800 BC.
