In the valley of Mygdonia, in a green oasis of 100 acres and only 2 kilometres east of the city of Lagadas, lie the homonymous curative baths. The evolution of the baths of Lagada is directely connected with the history, the social conditions, the traditions and the culture, as they were formed through the ages.
The first balneotherapy facilities in the region of Lagadas are dated back to 900 A.D. and tradition has it that the baths were created by the byzantine military doctor Ioustinianos. Today, two byzantine tanks from the years 900 and 1400 A.D. remain and are still used. Geographers and travellers in 1670 A.D. mention the byzantine facilities, with a special reference to the “magnificent marble group tub”. The systematic organisation of the baths began in 1925 and today Lagadas is a big and modern thermal city.
