We were in July. We took a rental car to get there. We arrived early in the morning - out of the tourist flow. The place is beautiful, the springs and baths are entourage, everything is lined with stone. The water enters the pools by waterfall. And the scent of hydrogen sulfide (I'm writing and I can smell it, like now). After the baths, we switched to mud treatments. It was a complete buzz - we smeared ourselves, dried off and washed off the dirt with hot water from the spring and drank tea at a local cafe. By the way, if you relax in a local hotel, then using the procedures at the source is free, although it is far from the sea.
On the way back to the village, we bought a jar of tangerine juice (mmm yummy), local peaches (Turkish people are resting) and a jar of fig jam.
In short, I recommend it 👍🏻

I was happy to travel from new Athos to this spring. The bus goes there according to the schedule that is at the stop. The ticket price is 100 rubles. There are almost always a lot of people on the bus and if you did not get on at the first stop, then your road to the source (about 30 minutes) may be in a bent state. But if you have 3 fellow travelers, then for the same 100 rubles per person, you can take a taxi. The entrance to the source is 300 rubles + 50 rubles for a storage room (price 2024). There are 3 baths with mineral water and mud on site. I enjoyed visiting this place. I even smeared mud on my hair, they liked it) there is a hotel on site with a cost of 1,500 per day. The price includes a bath and mud treatment. After the procedures, it is pleasant to drink herbal tea, which you will be offered for 100 rubles in a cafe next to the changing rooms. I also saw a restaurant, but I didn't visit it, because when you go by bus, you have to do everything in an hour or the next bus back will be in 2 hours. I recommend.

A good hydrogen sulfide source, hot water is supplied to the pools by a waterfall through pipes. Three pools, 5*6, 3*4, 3*5. The depth is about 1m. Sometimes there are a lot of visitors, 10 people in the pool, changing rooms are not guarded, there is a luggage storage (on the shelf at the cash register). You can carry things with you in a bag.
The saturation of water with hydrogen sulfide is average, if you additionally smear dirt, you will smell for three days.
It is better to visit on warm, windless days, otherwise it is not very comfortable.
Parking is 100 rubles, cars can be left in the village and 200 meters on foot.
Have a nice rest and good health to everyone!
