The Eftalou Thermal Baths occupy a 19th-century Ottoman bathhouse directly on the shore, 3 km from Molyvos village. The single thermal pool reaches 38–40°C and is fed by natural spring water. The historic vaulted stone interior is atmospheric and unusual. Bathers typically alternate between the thermal pool and the cool seawater just outside — a contrast therapy dating back centuries in this location.
