The hot springs at Polichnitos (Lesbos Island) are volcanic in origin. They range in temperature between 67°C and 92°C and are among the hottest natural springs in Europe.
You can admire colorful rivers and ponds, or enjoy them in a small nearby traditional spa on location.
The waters are enriched with natural radon, sodium chloride and are comparable to the Wiesbaden springs in Germany. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

Its creation, 20.000 000 year ago is connected with the intense volcanic activity in the Aegean during the Miocene period. In 1985, the forest was declared a Protected Natural Monument.
