Blue Zone Secret | Radioactive Hot Springs in Ikaria Island, Greece

Agia Kiriaki on Ikaria Island in Greece is a coastal town in walking distance of the airport, and it has a free secluded radioactive hot thermal spring that is known to heal disease.

------------------------------------
We partnered with Klio Teas to bring authentic Ikarian honey and Greek teas to the US:

------------------------------------
Most people visiting Ikaria only know of the hot springs in the village of Therma. But, to truly get the health benefits in Therma, you would have to visit one of the bath houses there and pay money. Moreover, they only work seasonally. So, you will be stuck to swimming in the free, but crowded thermal springs in a cave in Therma, which doesn’t have nearly as much healing radiation as the bath houses.

However, Agia Kiriaki does have a decent amount of radiation and you can escape the crowds by going there early in the morning. The hot spring enclosure isn’t nearly as big as the one in Therma. So, you will have to wait your turn if there are any other people. But, during the off-season, you may find nobody there. We visited in mid-May, and barely encountered any people.
