    is a primitive Kurhaus for those who come to Balukli in search of health. The groves of trees and the plea- sant country make it a favourite resort. The visitors drink the holy water, frequent the church at the time of prayers, and occasionally sleep for a night in it. Then cure sometimes comes to them. A special crowd attends at the festival time on the Friday of Greek Easter week.
