Kamena Vourla has famous springs which became important around 1926 when the chemist Michail Pertesis discovered the exceptionally high concentration of radon in the water. In the 1930s, the first hotels started to develop and after World War II, Kamena Vourla was transformed into a famous tourist attraction.

The flag of the municipality (Kokkonis website) was white with the municipality emblem.
