Therma Beach (Embros Thermes)
Εμπρός Θέρμες
Hot springs seep from the rocks into the sea. You can soak in a natural pool of hot water ringed by stones while watching the sea, a unique experience on Kos.
The hot spring beach lies beneath cliffs about 12 km southeast of Kos Town. The sulphurous spring water is about 40°C and flows down to the shore, where it mixes with seawater in small stone-ringed pools, creating a alternating hot and cold effect. From the parking area, a steep path descends for about 10 minutes, and the climb back is tiring. Entry is free, facilities are limited, and there is one small restaurant. Midday in summer is too hot for long soaks; evenings and the cooler seasons are more comfortable.
