The water is sourced from the area near the village of Souroti, which is located in the Thessaloniki regional unit.

Composition[edit | edit source]

Souroti water is rich in minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium. These minerals contribute to its unique taste and potential health benefits. The water is naturally carbonated, which means that the bubbles are a result of natural processes rather than artificial carbonation.
