Polichnitos Hot Springs, Lesbos Island (July 2011) photos

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.
