Lonely Planet notes the following on the Greek thermal spring:

“Palia Kameni, Greece – The vibe: nature’s mud wrap.
Refreshingly non-commercial, the turquoise springs on this volcanic island in the Santorini caldera are known for their therapeutic sulphuric mud. ‘Old Burnt’ in Greek, Palia Kameni is accessed by boat from Santorini – visitors are required to swim from a moored vessel to reach the main seaside spring.”
