Among the many beaches of the Greek island of Kos special attention certainly deserves the beach term. It is located on the southeast coast of the island, about 10-12 km from the town of Kos and annually attracts a huge number of tourists from all over the world.

Therma - great beach with black sand and pebbles, surrounded by steep picturesque rocks. His fame was this beach due to the healing thermal springs, which in 1934 were discovered by the Italian archaeologist Laurentsi here. Actually in Greek "term" means "hot spring", so named beach got no coincidence.

Right near the shore you will see a relatively small "pool" is separated from the sea only by boulders. This font was artificially created directly in the place where the hot springs with a temperature of about 40-50 degrees, fall into the sea. The water here is very interesting and rich composition and rich in elements such as potassium, calcium, sulfur, magnesium, sodium, etc. and, of course, has a therapeutic effect. Bathing in this "natural bath" is especially useful for people suffering from arthritis, rheumatism, as well as problems with the respiratory and gynecological diseases. Water is also a very positive effect on the skin and is very relaxing. But do not forget that being in the font more than 20-30 minutes is not recommended.

Since Therma beach is very popular, in the daytime it is usually very crowded. And if you prefer to avoid excessive concentrations of people, worth a visit Therma beach in the late afternoon.

To get to the beach you can Terma by car (there is a small parking lot) or bus from the city of Kos. However, it is worth considering that the drive directly to the beach, you can not, and will have to overcome a certain distance on foot.
