Sources Thermales de Lésbos - Therma

Lesbos (Mytilene) is the third-largest island in Greece and the birthplace of Sappho, the great lyric poet of antiquity, whose thermal springs at Therma have been used since before the Hellenistic period and are classified among the oldest continually exploited mineral springs in the Eastern Mediterranean. Its bicarbonate spring waters, emerging hot from the volcanic geology of the island, are used for musculoskeletal and dermatological treatments in facilities that look directly across the narrow strait toward the Turkish coastline just five kilometres away. The thermal experience at Lesbos combines deep geological antiquity, Sapphic literary history, and the geopolitically charged beauty of the Aegean borderlands into one of the most culturally layered spa destinations in Greece.
