Abstract
According to EOT report there are 752 mineral springs in Greece, of which 180 are used for external use, 148 for internal use, and 20 for both uses.
By EOT's invitation 9 spas: Aedipsos, Thermopylae, Platystomo, Ypati, Kammena Vourla, Kylini, Kaiafa, Maudraki (Nisyros), and Calithea (Rhodes) were visited. 7 are situated by the beautiful sea shore and 3 are surrounded by fragrant wood. In Kylini a modernized grand etablissement thermale is going on to accomplish. Calithea is for the present not used for drinking. In Nisyros a plan to develop geothermal energy production is going on which may have influence on thermal spring.
Greek spas can and should be more widely used not only for cure treatment but also for tourism.
