The Therma Beach and Hot Springs are situated some 10kms away from Kos Town and 8kms away from Psalidi. A pool area has been created where the hot springs emerge into the sea. The water flows into it at 45-50 degrees and mingles with the sea water creating different levels of heat across the pool area. The water is rich in many elements namely sulfur (the distinct smell is clearly identifiable), potassium, calcium, magnesium and has therapeutic benefits, helping out in cases of arthritis, rheumatism, and other ailments. The springs were discovered by the Archaeologist Laurentsi in 1934. During the middle of the twentieth century the Italians shipped large quantities of this water back to Italy where they combined it to water from a spring in Rhodes.
