About Thalos
Built around what the coast already does well.
Thalos began with a single treatment room in Elounda and a straightforward idea: seawater, mineral salt and Cretan olive oil do most of the work, and a good therapist does the rest.
Three retreats later that has not changed. Each location is shaped by where it sits — a beachfront thalassotherapy circuit in Crete, open-air gazebos above the Santorini caldera, an early-opening city spa in Athens for guests arriving off long flights.

Before you visit
Questions we get asked most.
How far ahead should I book?
In July and August, three to four days for evening slots at Elounda and Oia. Outside high season, a day is usually enough. Athens can normally take same-day bookings before 11:00.
I have a specific problem rather than a treatment in mind.
That is the better way to arrive. Tell us what is bothering you and how much time you have, and we will match a treatment to it — that is what our therapists are for.
Is the thalassotherapy circuit suitable if I do not swim?
Yes. The seawater pool is chest-height throughout and a therapist stays with you for the full circuit. Tell us when you book and we will keep the pace gentle.
Can you work around an injury or a medical condition?
Usually, but tell us in advance rather than on the table. We will adjust pressure and technique, and occasionally recommend a different treatment.
What should I bring?
Nothing. Robes, slippers and towels are provided at every location, and there are lockers and showers on site.
