Iamátika Loutrá Selianítikon — 'Healing Baths of Selianitikon' — is a sulphurous mineral spring bathing facility in Greece that bore the official iamátika designation before falling out of operational use in 2013. The spring waters, rich in sulphurous compounds and dissolved minerals, had long been used for bathing within a long thermal tradition before the establishment closed. The site remains a reminder of the extraordinary density of Greece's geothermal heritage and the ongoing challenge of preserving and revitalising the country's traditional mineral water resources.
Insider tip — These thermal baths near the coastal village of Selianitika on the northern Peloponnese coast were historically popular for their sulfurous waters. The site closed around 2013, leaving only the natural spring seeping through rocky terrain above the Gulf of Corinth. The setting remains scenic, with the Corinthian Gulf visible below and pine-clad hills rising behind the abandoned bathhouse.
