Cala Gadir
A small fishing harbour on the northeast coast, where natural hot-spring pools among the rocks sit by the sea. You can soak in the warm water and then dive straight into the ocean.
Gadir is a small fishing harbour on the northeast coast, with white dammusi stone houses encircling a small bay. By the harbour are several stone-lined natural hot pools, at about 40–50°C. After soaking, you can jump straight into the sea next to them. The surrounding waters are excellent for swimming, snorkelling and diving, and there is a diving centre. Admission is free, but it gets crowded in summer, and the pools are small, so visitors take turns.
