About Aidipsos
Loved by the Romans
In Roman times, Aidipsos flourished, as it was already well known and appreciated for its healing springs. Even the Greek philosopher Aristotle mentioned Aidipsos in his works. The Roman general Sylla came here to cure his gout. Experience the exceptional character of Aidipsos by visiting the “Cave of Sylla” where the general took his baths in the springs with a view over the Mediterranean.
Thermal springs meeting the Mediterranean
Nature has given Aidipsos 75 thermal water springs, some of them directly located at the seaside with their water flowing into the sea. This offers the unique experience of bathing in thermal water just before diving into the sea. The luxurious Thermae Sylla Spa & Wellness Hotel is famous for its spa water. Enjoy a swim in one of the thermal water pools or the huge variety of relaxing wellness or soothing medical treatments.

The hidden beauties of Euboea
