Natural hot springs at Therma Beach on Kos Island
We are at the natural hot springs found at Therma Beach on the Greek island of Kos in Greece. Its July at the height of summer and many tourists and locals have made the journey to visit the hot springs today. The Therma Beach springs are located 13 kilometers outside Kos Town in the south eastern part of the island. You can get to the Therma (also called Empros Thermens) by car, scooter, motorbike, public bus or rented bicycle. I do not recomend the bicycle ride from Kos Town, unless you are very fit. My wife and I attempted the ride the day before and the springs where much further than we had anticipated. The combination of the steep mountainous roads, very hot sun and the fact that we did not know where the Therma Beach was made us turn around. The bicycle ride was beautiful and we had some breathtaking views from the mountain (we must have been within 1 kilometer of the hot springs beach). I must mention that we are both very used to long bicycle rides of 15+ kilometers so that is something to think about if you plan to bicycle ride there.
We chose to take the public bus to Therma Beach. We took the Number 5 bus from Kos Town Main Terminal (Akteon) all the way to the Therma Beach at the top of the mountain. Be aware that there is a long walk down the mountain (very well worth the walk) to the beach where the springs are, so make sure you have a bottle or two of water to drink, you will need that for both the walk down and up the mountain.
The hot springs where fantastic. The locals have gathered rocks and made a large ocean pool in which the hot water is contained and cooled down by the waves gently breaking into the pool. The water from this natural hot spa is said to be very therapeutic and full of natural minerals such as sulfur, calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium which I have heard is apparently considered instrumental in cures for skin arthritic or rheumatic diseases (whether true or not, lying in this hot natural Jacuzzi is a relaxing experience and indeed one of Kos Islands must see tourist attractions.
The walk up to the bus stop at the top of the mountain is hot and rather steep but you are rewarded with an ice cold drink at one of the little restaurants at the top, next to the bus stop. In the video watch out for the goat who decided that the bus stop was the only available place that had shadow and therefore he took all the space, the rest of us had to find shade in one of the restaurants.

“Best bar in the world!”
Leeds, United Kingdom
We stayed at the Kris Marie hotel which is 1 minute walk from the Sunbeam. We went in the Sunbeam everyday as it was like a bar in paradise. Our host Andreas was absolutely lovely & made us feel really welcome. The food was lovely especially the full English breakfast.This must be the most tranquil bar in the world situated only a couple of yards from the sea (see pic).
