The mineral springs of Edipsos have been famous for their healing properties since the 4th century B.C. The Ancient Greek writers and philosophers such as Aristotle, Strabo, and Plutarch wrote about these springs. In Edipsos the mineral spring water springs from natural wells as deep as 3,000 m at temperatures of 75-85ο C.
Heracles is said to be visiting the hot springs of Edipsos after every feat, and he stayed for a few days there to heal his wounds and regain his supreme powers.
