The spa at Astir Odysseus Resort & Spa is an oasis of tranquility – the place where you reward yourself with a massage or spa treatment that will allow you to escape the heat of the summer, the tourist crowds, and all your worries. It is a space of pampering through more than repose: all your senses awaken to trigger positive sensations in your body and a sense of balance in your mind.

You can step into this temple for well-being to relax in the jacuzzi, to break a serious sweat at the sauna – followed by a refreshing dip in our indoor pool, or relish a deluxe spa treatment in one of the treatment rooms. No less than 22 carefully put-together treatments and massages are on the spa menu developed by Aegeo Spas. And, you can continue your spa experience in your room, and even at home, with products from the Aegeo Spas signature Spa Memories collection.

Most of the spa menu offered at the Astir Odysseus spa by Aegeo Spas follows techniques and rituals of ancient Greek traditions described in old books. The use of natural ingredients and fragrances will take you on a journey of the senses to every corner of Greece. The signature Aegeo Spas treatments will bring you to a state of deep relaxation and dreamlike euphoria that will make you feel like a Greek goddess or god for a while.

We clustered the spa treatments into collections to help you choose what you need the most to pamper yourself.
