Thermes Xanthi in northern Greece's Thrace region — also known as Loutra Xanthis — draws on some of the hottest natural springs in Greece, with sulphurous waters emerging at 75°C from ancient fault lines in the Rhodope mountain range. The modern Pomponion spa facility channels these exceptional thermal waters into a full-service spa hotel and therapeutic centre, offering treatments particularly effective for musculoskeletal, dermatological and respiratory conditions. The Thrace region is one of Greece's most culturally diverse landscapes, with significant Muslim, Christian and Jewish heritage reflected in its architecture, cuisine and festivals. The dramatic transition from the Rhodope mountain forests to the fertile Thracian plain, with its tobacco fields and wetland bird sanctuaries, provides a compelling natural backdrop for a thermal stay in this little-visited corner of Greece.

Insider tip — The thermal springs at Xanthi emerge on the edge of the Rhodope Mountains, a region shared with Bulgaria and historically part of Byzantine Thrace. Hydrogen-sulfide-bearing water at around 37–38 °C seeps through schist formations and has been used for bathing since antiquity. The surrounding forest of oak and plane trees gives the site a secluded, wild feel rarely found at Greek thermal resorts.
