Kosturino Thermae is a thermal resort in the Valandovo region of southeastern North Macedonia, drawing on bicarbonate sulphurous springs that have been used for bathing and therapy since Roman times. The springs emerge in the lower Vardar corridor, the great river valley linking Skopje to the Aegean coast of Greece some 100 kilometres to the south. The therapeutic waters are recommended for rheumatic and musculoskeletal conditions, and the resort operates as a year-round destination for balneotherapy. The setting along the Vardar riverbanks, ringed by low hills and vineyards, provides a peaceful and naturally beautiful environment for rest and recovery.

Insider tip — Terme Kosturino produces some of the hottest natural thermal water in North Macedonia at 53°C, requiring dilution before immersion. The source emerges in the lower Strumica valley close to the Bulgarian border, in flat agricultural terrain broken by isolated limestone hills. The intense heat of the springs is associated with unusually deep fault penetration, tapping geothermal reservoirs at considerable depth.
