Ancient Origins and Healing Waters

Nestled on the sun-drenched eastern coast of Rhodes, Kalithea Springs stands as a testament to centuries of culture, wellness, and architectural grandeur. The thermal springs here have drawn visitors since antiquity, revered for their mineral-rich waters reputed to soothe rheumatic pains and skin ailments. In Hellenistic times, local populations fashioned rudimentary baths from natural rock basins, harnessing the steady flow of geothermal waters that bubble up at a consistent temperature of around 25 °C. Pilgrims and physicians alike lauded the curative powers of these springs, embedding Kalithea Springs into the fabric of ancient Greek health practices.
