The hot springs in Santorini
Located on the tiny uninhabited island of Palea Kameni, the hot springs of Santorini are a relaxing activity that deserves your visit. Supposed to be curative for the skin, but also for the joints, the hot springs have temperatures that vary between 30 and 35°C.
To get there, you must first walk to the volcano of Santorini: you will also have the opportunity to enjoy the spectacular views of the island. Then, you will only have to take a boat that will allow you to explore the mysterious islands of black lava in the caldera: the hot springs are only accessible by boat.
Nevertheless, don't forget to choose a swimsuit with rather dark colors because the hot springs have a shoreline with rather orange tones, which can have the consequence of a definitive coloring on your swimsuit if it has a too-light color like white!
Finally, with the right bathing suit and after taking the boat trip, you will only have to reach the hot springs of Palea Kameni, known for their therapeutic benefits on the body.
