Embros Thermes, Natural thermal spring in Kos, Greece
Embros Thermes is a natural hot spring on the island of Kos that releases mineral-rich water into a stone basin near the shore. The heated water continuously flows toward the sea, creating a unique bathing experience along the coast.
The spring lies beneath the Dikeos Mountains and represents one of the island's last active geothermal sources. This natural phenomenon has drawn people for centuries seeking the benefits of the warm water.
The spring draws people seeking relief and wellness through bathing in the naturally heated water, a practice that has long been part of island life. Over time, it has become a gathering place where both locals and travelers experience this natural resource together.
The site is located roughly 12 kilometers from Kos Town and requires about a 15-minute walk from the free parking area. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water, as the path crosses rocky and uneven ground.
Gas bubbles rise continuously from the pool bottom, creating natural water movement without any mechanical pumps. This constant circulation gives the bathing experience a dynamic quality that shifts throughout the day.
