Kallidromo
Kallidromos thermal baths
The hot springs of Kallidromos are part of Fthiotida’s thermal spring network. They are located six kilometers from Lamia in Fthiotida and have been a source of healing and tranquility since antiquity, renowned for their therapeutic properties, particularly in treating skin conditions like psoriasis, rheumatism, arthritis, and sciatica. Historically referred to as Psoroneria, these springs, with waters reaching 33°C, are linked to legends involving Athena and Hercules, who received the springs as a gift for their healing powers. Their beneficial effects were noted by ancient historians and physicians, including Herodotus and Hippocrates, while geographer Pausanias praised their remarkably clear and blue waters.
