In Agistro, the northernmost village of Serres, you will find a Byzantine hammam dating back to 950 AD, which is considered the oldest in Greece. It is said that the local Bey (Turkish ruler) and his harem used these baths during the Ottoman period.
Hotel Hammam is built around the Byzantine baths, which are open 24 hours a day and offer, moreover, relaxing massages as well as facial and body treatments.
Staying here, you will be able to get in and out of the hammam in your bathrobe without having to leave the hotel. This feature, combined with the fact that the building is sufficiently heated so that you won’t get cold after your hot bath, renders Agistro Thermal Springs an excellent choice for the winter.
The springs of Agistro reach a temperature of 40.5°C and enhance total body wellness. They are also suitable for those looking to treat a range of conditions such as rheumatism, arthritis and myalgia. The eight group and private baths are ideal for relaxation and rejuvenation, allowing you to stay in the water for up to an hour, something you cannot do at other spas.
Abundant flow of hot water, soothing steam and little natural light streaming in from the skylights; Agistro hammam offers a unique unwinding experience. The facilities are very clean, plus all those years of maintenance have resulted in a charming mix of stone and marble with a few modern touches such as modern tiles and lighting.
Agistro Thermal Springs and Hotel Hammam are located next to the border with Bulgaria, 120 km from Thessaloniki. Lush greenery and rare flowers embrace the premises and, if you love nature, you will most probably adore this place. The village itself is very welcoming, with wonderful people who will make you feel at home.
