The Etalou Hot Springs and the beach of Eftalou on the island of Lesbos in Greece |
Near Molyvos in the north of Lesbos island are the long pebble beach and the hot springs of Eftalou. The village is situated 1 kilometer east of larger Molyvos and it is attracting a bit more tourist over the last couple of years after several hotels were built here. In between Eftalou and Molyvos ride busses. The springs are known for their healing power and they are recommended for all kinds of illnesses like rheumatism, arthritis and skin diseases. You can relax on the beaches in one of the bays (some of them for naturists), and swim in the sea. Along the shore the hot mineral water seeps through the rocks and mixes with the sea water in warm pools. The water here can get very hot. The beach and its surroundings are truly beautiful. There are not many facilities on the pebble beach besides one restaurant. Eftalou has a beautiful old bath house that is impressive and very hot. In the building next to it you can take a thermal bath (not free). |
