Greece has a cache of hot springs and, of note for mineral water tourists, they’re not all that in demand. Perhaps it’s because temperate ocean water is so easily accessible, and people are more likely to visit the country’s many picturesque beaches.

However, Greece has more than 700 natural hot springs spread through the islands that make up the Mediterranean nation. In one single town, Aedipsos, there are 80 known individual hot springs. We’ve broken down the most prominent hot springs hot spots in each of the five main islands.

Crete

In Crete, you’ll find the Springs of Argyroupolis, a nature preserve that’s well known for its shelf of mineral springs. The area boasts a beautiful waterfall, a slew of restaurants whose architecture highlights some of the spring’s water features, and a few fountains that bubble with the mineral water. On Crete is also-

  • Samaria’s Gorge National Park
  • Al Hammam Traditional Baths
  • Fontana dei Leoni

Evia

On the island of Evia sits The Healing Thermal Springs of Edipsos, a spa with ocean views where the hot spring water meets that of the cooler sea. There’s a local legend in these parts saying that, in ancient times, a nephew decided he’d be his elderly aunts only inheritor and tried to hasten them to their deaths. When the women found out, they spent ten days submerged in the healing waters of Edipsos. They never did die, instead soaking up youth from the springs. That’s some powerful therapeutics! Also on this island you can find-

  • Dimosari Gorge
  • Thermae Sylla Spa & Wellness Hotel
  • Steni Evias

Lesbos

This island, known for its most famous poetess, is home to Eftalou, a bathhouse built in the 17th century. These ancient springs have options for group and individual bathing and remain in the hands of local owners. It is recommended that anyone who wants to bathe for an extended period take multiple trips to the connecting beach to cool off in the waves. This way, bathers won’t overheat in the extra warm spring water.

Similarly, Polychnitou is found on Lesbos and is ultra hot. In fact, it’s the warmest hot spring in all of Europe. The island also houses-

  • Thermi on Yera
  • Skala Thermi
  • The Eressian Hammam & Spa
  • Karini

Rhodes

On the island of Rhodes there is a truly unique collection of springs. There are seven in all and a waterfall. A local restaurant is nearby in case hikers and bathers work up an appetite. The stone basin at Epta Piges (Seven Springs) is from another time, and the tunnel area was constructed in the 1930s. Peacocks and ducks have made the springs their home and are relatively friendly with bathers. Also on Rhodes is-

  • Kallithea Springs
  • Butterflies Valley
