Thermal Spring of Alykes

Milos


Hot water bubbles up through the sand of a beach, 3km southeast around the bay from central Adamas, heating the water close to shore. Sadly, it's positioned right in front of a noisy power plant. The thermal area is just to the right of a patch of rocks immediately opposite the plant.
