10 km from Mouzaki and 40 km from Karditsa are necessary to reach Vatsounia. Placed on an altitude of 430 m, sparsely populated and drowned in the forest of chestnut trees, fir trees and oak trees, Vatsounia belongs to the municipality of Mouzaki.

The main source of income of the residents comes from sheep goats and swine raising. About 5,000 sheep and swine are fed. The village has excellent drinking water, which according to chemical analyses of the General State Chemical Laboratory, is one of the best one can drink in Greece.

The history of the village, from antiquity until today, is incomplete not completely known. The village establishment is lost in the mists of time. Very close to the village, at “Paliokklisi” surrounding is placed the ancient kingdom of Seles. In modern times, testified that, around the year 1800, there were many battles in the area. At the end of the last century, the population of the town increased considerably, as moved in the area a group of people from the Epirus’ villages of Konitsa.

The Natural Mineral Water THEONI springs at 1100 m altitude of the sources of Goura, in the mountainous region of Agrafa in Karditsa.


8 // Differences between natural mineral water - table water - water source

NATURAL MINERAL WATER

Has exclusively underground origin and Community

Directives prohibit any treatment or disinfection in natural

mineral water.

TABLE WATER

SPRING WATER

May be of any origin (eg drilling of lake from the river,

even desalinated sea water). The table water can

decontaminate, in order the recommendation to be

consistent with the corresponding EU directive from

drinking water

The spring water is an intermediate category between the

table and natural mineral water.

The european union has identified three different types of bottled water.

NATURAL MINERALWATER

THEONI

The bottling is fullyautomated in order to

eliminated the riskcontamination.

Excellent qualityand chemical composition

Bottled directlyfrom source

without incurring anytreatment.

The bottled water “THEONI” is real spring water

from the naturally sprouting springs of Goura, at an

altitude of over one thousand meters. These springs

are located in the forest “Vatsounia” of Mouzaki

Municipality of Karditsa. The springs in this region are

part of Penios river water basin. Basic topographical

data describing the terrain of the springs is in the

elevation changes, the various slopes and creases.

The area of the springs for the “THEONI” water is in

the western fringes of the “Itamos” mountain and the

southern outskirts of the “Koziaka” mountain, which

are part of the Agrafa mountain range.

The earthly sprouted (artesian water) springs of

Goura at an altitude of over 1000 meters are also

providing the drinking water of the residents of

Vatsounia. The water source of Goura springs

from their underground reservoirs never ends and

a part of this is bottled by AHB Group SA, under

the name “THEONI”.

“Theoni” is, as it became known from the

memories of the elders in the area, the name of

the spring fairy in the region

10 // Advantages of natural mineral water Theoni

LOW RATE OF NITRATES-NITRITEwhich are indicators of water contamination

LOW CHLORIDES CL-

According to researches the clorides (in high rates):

1. is a powerful poisonous neurotoxi

2. create carcinogenic compounds (trihalomethanes).

3. cause heart diseases and arteriosclerosis.

4. kill good bacteria called probiotics

ABSENCE OF HEAVY, TOXIC METALS

LOW RATE OF SODIUM The sodium in high level can cause problem in arteries.

LOW RATE OF PHOSPHORUS The phosphate are indicators of water contamination with pesticides

ALCALINE WATER PH 8The cells of our body is slightly alkaline and must remain in order to be

healthy.
