Edipsos Thermal Spa Artemis is part of the celebrated thermal complex of Edipsos (also known as Loutrá Aidipsoú) on the island of Euboea (Evia), Greece's largest island after Crete, which has been recognized as Greece's premier thermal spa town since ancient times when Aristotle praised the waters and the Roman general Sulla came to Edipsos in the 1st century BCE, establishing a reputation that has made this Aegean spa the longest continuously documented thermal spring destination in the Greek world. The town's over 80 natural spring sources, emerging at temperatures ranging from 34 to 82 degrees Celsius from a submarine volcanic hydrothermal system in the Northern Euboic Gulf, supply the numerous bathing establishments that line the waterfront promenade in a distinctively Greek spa town atmosphere of neoclassical hotel architecture, outdoor spring pools, and the animated café culture of a beloved Greek seaside resort. The chloride mineral spring waters of Artemis and the broader Edipsos thermal zone are associated with well-being within a long thermal tradition, supporting the town's role as Greece's leading thermal destination in a beautiful island setting accessible by ferry from the Attic coast just a short journey from Athens.

Insider tip — On the northern tip of Evia island across the Euboean Gulf from the Greek mainland, Edipsos has been a celebrated bathing destination since antiquity — Aristotle, Plutarch, and Sulla all soaked here. The sulfurous thermal water emerges at naturally high temperatures along the rocky shoreline, and some springs still bubble directly into the sea between the boulders. The faded Belle Epoque grandeur of the waterfront hotels reflects Edipsos's early-20th-century peak as Greece's most fashionable thermal resort.
