The healing thermal waters of Kalithea, praised for their therapeutic qualities by Hippocrates for the treatment of arthritis, dried up since 1968.
Location
The Baths of Kalithea (Καλλιθέα) are located near Koskinou(Κοσκινού) between Rhodes(Ρόδος) and Faliraki(Φαληράκι) north of the latter, about 15 km from Rhodes .
Besides the spa is a nice sandy beach and rocky coves especially true basins that form smooth and transparent waters, it is also one of the few places in Rhodes where you can make scuba Navy.
The ancient thermal baths of Kalithea were masterfully reconstructed by the fascist regime during the Italian occupation in 1929. Edited by Pietro Lombardi, the Italians built a typical Moorish pavilion with marble columns in the middle of lush gardens. Its white houses are attractively scattered under the pines and palms.
Their waters were effective for the treatment of diseases of the liver and gallbladder.
This small resort was long abandoned until its restoration, which opened in 2007.
