Ancient thermal water and faded spa grandeur on northern Euboea.
Edipsos is one of Greece's historic spa towns, where hot mineral springs flow beside the sea among Belle Époque and modern wellness hotels.
Thermal water has drawn visitors to Edipsos since antiquity. Springs emerge at temperatures up to the high seventies Celsius, leaving mineral formations along the coast and feeding public and hotel bathing facilities.
The town's grand old hotels recall its nineteenth- and twentieth-century spa heyday, while everyday waterfront life continues around them. Edipsos suits travellers interested in bathing traditions and northern Euboea rather than a pristine historic resort.
Practical information
Vehicle ferries cross from Arkitsa to Edipsos, and roads connect through Euboea. Seek medical advice before thermal bathing, observe time limits and never enter dangerously hot outlets.
