While strolling down a narrow street in Corfu’s (Greece) old town, I saw a shop sign that read:
Fish Spa-10 Euros.
My curiosity was aroused because I had seen a
presentation about these spas on television, here in the US. I remembered learning that these tiny fish,
referred to as Doctor Fish, forage and slough of the dead skin on your feet,
giving some of the best pedicures ever.
I took the challenge and plunged my feet into the large tub of water and
was instantly “attacked” by hundreds of hungry teeny, minnow-like fish, who ravaged
my flesh—nibbling all at once.
It tickled so much that I laughed hysterically for the
first 5 minutes of the process.
I have since learned that these spas began in Turkey and
have popped up in several Mediterranean, Adriatic, European, and Asian
nations. There are even a few scattered
throughout the US.
