Hypati Hot Springs are located in the historic village of Ypati in the Phthiotis regional unit of Central Greece, dramatically situated at the foot of Mount Oeta — the mythological site of Hercules' funeral pyre. The calcium and sulfate-enriched thermal waters have been associated with well-being since ancient times, and ancient inscriptions confirm their use in bathing sanctuaries in the classical era. The combination of rich Hellenic mythology, dramatic mountain scenery of the Oeta National Park, and a long tradition of thermal bathing makes Hypati one of Greece's most historically and naturally compelling spa destinations.

Insider tip — Hypati springs emerge at the foot of Mount Oiti in the verdant Spercheios valley, a site associated with Hercules in Greek mythology as this is near the location of his legendary pyre. The calcium-sulfate waters flow from limestone formations and have been valued since Hellenistic times. The surrounding national park with its fir and black pine forests rewards a half-day hike before descending to soak in the thermal pools.
