The spring “Kokkino Nero” is near Karitsa, 60 km away from Larisa and 17 km away from the National Road Thessaloniki – Athens. The settlement Kokkino Nero was named after the unique “red water”, thanks to the iron hydroxides that paint the rocks red, that gushes in the region. Its curative properties are known from ancient times. Visitors can combine mineral water drinking therapy with a cold bath in the new stone- built pools.
