Ikaria has been known for its therapeutic springs since antiquity. The Agios Kirykos thermal facility uses mildly radioactive radon-containing waters, historically prescribed by Greek physicians for rheumatism and arthritis. The facility is simple and local-focused — not a spa, but a genuine therapeutic bathing tradition that has been part of Ikarian life for millennia and may contribute to the island's extraordinary longevity statistics.
