Sources thermales de Milos, on the volcanic island of Milos in the Cyclades, Greece, are chloride-rich coastal thermal springs emerging in the geothermally active landscape of one of the Mediterranean's most volcanically remarkable islands — Milos is the source of the Venus de Milo, a major obsidian trade centre in antiquity, and sits atop a caldera system that produces geothermal features including hot springs, steam vents, and colourful mineral deposits along its dramatically sculpted coastline. The thermal springs emerge where volcanic heat warms the island's groundwater and coastal seabed, creating bathing spots at the water's edge where hot spring water mixes with the Aegean in a setting of extraordinary volcanic beauty. Milos' thermal springs, combined with its unique geological landscape of multicoloured volcanic rock formations and ancient mining heritage, make it one of the Cyclades' most mineralogically and thermally distinctive destinations.

Insider tip — Allow at least 2 hours to fully enjoy the sulfurous waters of Kanava.
