Kallithea Springs
Leof. Kallitheas 80, Rodos 851 00
Domed Art Deco spa pavilion over rust-tinted thermal springs, with coves for swimming beside its restored arcades.
This guide to Kallithea Springs in Rhodes follows the rust-tinted cove from its 1929 opening as a royal Italian spa, when King Vittorio Emanuele himself inaugurated Pietro Lombardi's domed arcades, through a hydrology conference that drew over two hundred doctors testing the water's healing claims. It traces the site's darker turn under German occupation in the Second World War, its slow decline and 1967 closure, and its unexpected second act as a film set for The Guns of Navarone and Escape to Athena.
