A hot tub is a large tub full of water used for hydrotherapy, relaxation or pleasure. Some have powerful jets for massage purposes. Hot tubs are sometimes also known as "spas" or by the trade name Jacuzzi. Hot tubs may be located outdoors or indoors.

Insider tip — Ikaria's thermal springs at Therma village are among Europe's most radioactive natural waters, with radon concentrations that have attracted health tourists since antiquity. The island itself is a Blue Zone, famous for the extraordinary longevity of its inhabitants, and the springs are locally credited as part of that equation. Bathing sessions are traditionally kept brief, around 10-15 minutes, due to the high radon content. The springs flow directly into the Aegean at the shoreline, creating a surreal juxtaposition of warm mineral water and cool sea.
