Whether you are looking for a relaxing vacation in the sun or a cure for arthritis or rheumatism, Edipsos, situated on the northwest tip of the island of Evia in the Aegean Sea, is the perfect destination. Often called the ‘City of Spas’, it has attracted those in search of the natural healing properties of its natural springs and thermal spas throughout the ages. Roman and Byzantine generals visited the area for both health reasons and leisure purposes, and ancient writers, including Aristotle and Plutarch, have referred to it in their works. Indeed, Edipsos has more than 80 hot springs, said to be the warmest in Europe, with temperatures of up to 86°C. Nowadays, the area still attracts thousands of visitors, catered for by a large number of hotels, restaurants, tavernas, bars and shops. EasyToBook.com offers cheap accommodation at budget hotels in the very heart of this unique village.
On the hill just above Edipsos, can be found the remains of the ancient city, as well as the ruins of the roman baths. Sylla’s cave, where the Roman general, Syllas, was cured from arthritis, is also well worth visiting. The Nautilus Museum, only a short distance from your hotel, will provide fascination to those of all ages. The museum is dedicated to shells, stones and fossils from all of the seas around the world and contains around 3,000 exhibits.
