Historical Background

Antiquity - 20th Century
Historical Background

Although hydrotherapy in the Almopia area likely dates back to Antiquity, Loutra's development as a spa town began after 1913. The region has a long history, having been part of the Ancient Kingdom of Macedonia, the First Bulgarian Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and the Ottoman Empire, serving as a key exchange hub between Greece and Turkey.

1920s - 1960s
Spa Development

The construction of Hotel Avra in 1924 marked a turning point for Loutra Pozar, attracting visitors with its mild climate and healing waters. The spa town continued to grow, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s, alongside the rise of Greek tourism.

Few things can be more invigorating than standing under the 20m high natural thermal waterfall which forms a small lake among the rock and lush vegetation. One of those things not to be missed in your visit to Loutra Pozar!
