Thermopylae Hot Springs, Natural pool with hot springs near Lamia, Greece
These hot springs feature mineral-rich waters that emerge from underground sources, maintaining a constant temperature of 40 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
The Battle of Thermopylae occurred at this location in 480 BC, where King Leonidas and his Greek forces defended against the Persian army.
The springs hold mythological importance as Athena requested Hephaestus to create them for Hercules to restore his strength after completing his labors.
The thermal facility includes 18 Roman-style baths, located 200 kilometers from Athens and accessible via the Athens-Thessaloniki National Road.
The sulfurous waters form natural cascades and pools along the mountainside, creating multiple bathing spots with different temperatures and mineral concentrations.
