Germany
Germany has a long history of spas and wellness. Romans appreciated the hot mineral springs at Baden Baden, where they discovered its hot springs with waters that reach almost 70°C and contain salt and radon. At the beginning in the 18th and 19th centuries, Europe’s royalty and other aristocrats would congregate in the great German spa resort towns. You can still have a taste of the life they enjoyed at spas located there and in the other nearly 900 spa resorts. German spas include mineral and mud spas, climatic health resorts (known for their pure air), sea-side resorts, and Kniepp hydrotherapy spa resorts.
The southwestern state of Baden-Wuerttemburg offers the highest numbers of spas and borders France, sharing its love of food and great culinary traditions, so you can eat exceptionally well there.

Italy
The ancient Romans believed in the restorative powers of the hot springs found throughout Italy and regularly took advantage of them. Roman spa culture promoted the spa as a means to stay healthy. Modern Italians continue this tradition with many modern spas all over the country. Italy draws millions of spa guests every year for a taste of authentic Italian spa magic.
The springs were created by Italy’s unique geological structure. Ancient volcanoes, now mostly dormant, created the network of underground thermal and mineral waters and contributed to Italy’s scenic beauty. In fact, the spa’s abilities to rejuvenate and revitalize have attracted not only Italian notoriety but international attention too.
The restorative nature of these spa waters is based on the chemical composition of the thermal water. Typically, the waters include high compositions of bromide, sulfur, iodide, and sodium chloride. The waters are tested regularly by the health department and are renowned for their purity.

Greece
Throughout the ancient Greek world, spa culture constituted a hospitality ritual as well as a health practice. The Greek spa bathing practice of total and holistic regeneration involved regeneration of both the body and mind. The Royal Minoan Palace at Knossos, built as early as 1700BC, contained indoor running water and flush toilets. 13 In the Iliad and Odyssey , Homer speaks of the bathing habits of his many heroes. Hercules was indebted to gods Minerva and Vulcan for the refreshing influence of warm baths.
Visitors to Greece can “take the waters” at the same springs used by philosophers, warriors, and all those seeking health at the altars of Asclepius or Hygeia.
Throughout Greece, wherever thermal healing waters were found, a town sprung up around them. Most springs have been in continuous use since prehistoric times. Unlike the ruins of ancient cities, where we can imagine but not really experience what the life of was like then, today’s spas offer a modern experience that is little changed from the magnificent experiences of Greek and Roman times. Spending a few days or weeks at one of these special places is a great way to absorb some history while you rest and recuperate and enjoy a variety of healing treatments.
