What To Expect
Loutra Pozar
We reach the enchanting Pozar hot springs, the spa into nature. The healing water infiltrates the ground and after going quite deep is heated up and goes back to the surface enriched with minerals and trace elements.Admire the beautiful gorge located in the majestic mountain where the river “Toplitsa” (in slavic language is defined as “the hot river”) flows through it forming small cascades and shallow shores. Nowadays is mostly known as the river of Saint Nicolas.

Reviews
Tour bus was prompt at 8:00am arrival ~ Margarita was great - friendly, kind, informative - everything you want in a tour guide
When we arrived at the thermal baths, Margarita gave us a quick overview of where to purchase towels, store belongings and get changed. There were 3 thermal baths ~ one for hot water, one for cold water and a third "bath" which is essentially a swimming pool
Everything was great and super fun - we were able to get a couple photos too! just note this is very "instagrammable" but there will be plenty of people in our photos haha you have been warned! Wishing we could've stayed longer but we were making our trip to Edessa
Lovely views and great shots with many of the waterfalls! We wanted to spend a lot of time exploring so didn't get to try any of the restaurants in the plaza - a lot of the stalls within the plaza strip were for souvenir items and fast foods (pizza, hot dogs, ice cream)
HUGE thank-you to Margarita for not leaving us behind, haha! This area is a little tricky because there was no bus loading zone so Margarita had come back to the plaza strip and found us, talk about 5/5 customer service!!
