Edipsos Spa - History
From ancient times, as far back as mythology goes, the history of Aedipsos
began, completely interrelated with the precious gift nature had bestowed
on her. According to mythology Hercules would bathe in the hot waters
before each labour in order to relax and regain his strength.
Plutarch enthusiastically refers to the town’s waters and the pleasure
they offer. Stravonas also describes the thermal spas of Edipsos mentioning
their therapeautical properties with great admiration.
As the town was a popular resort of the Romans, it had throughout the
years hospitated numerous emperors, generals and senators. Amongst them,
statesmen as important as Emperor Adrien, Marcus Aurelious, Scylla the
general are only a few of those who would yearly bathe in the local springs,
seeking both pleasure and cure.
The beginning of the 20th century marks the Belle Epoque of Edipsos. Its
wide reputation and the proven healing properties of the thermal springs,
attract a multitude of affluent citizens, famous artists, writers, film
stars and scientists.
Onassis, Churchill, Greta Garbo, Maria Callas and the writer Loudemis
all left their mark on the town, proclaiming worldwide the miraculous
qualities of its thermal waters.
At the turn of the 21st century as the local SPAs continue to flourish,
it was "Geothermica" who decided to continue to write the history
of the Edipsos thermal healing waters. But nature would not give its secrets
away easily.
It was only after years of research, trials, close examinations and controls
that it was possible to isolate and captivate all the beneficial elements
from the thermal water.
