A source of life since antiquity
In a prime location along the historic Egnatia Odos, approximately 14 km east of Alexandroupoli, the history and healing power of Traianoupoli emerge. The city was founded in the early 2nd century AD by the Roman Emperor Trajan, who quickly recognised the value of the area’s thermal springs. Today, the site stands as a unique destination where Byzantine architecture meets modern needs for relaxation and therapeutic treatments.
The most iconic building in the area is the “Hana”, an impressive rectangular domed guesthouse dating back to the 14th century. It once served as a resting place for travellers and pilgrims and is one of the oldest and best-preserved structures of its kind in the Balkans. Nearby, you can also see the ruins of the old bathhouses, with their characteristic domes, bearing witness to the long-standing use of the thermal waters.
The thermal waters of Traianoupoli are classified as hyperthermal, with temperatures at the source reaching 51°C, and are rich in minerals. Traditionally, they have been used to treat rheumatic, gynaecological and skin conditions, while inhalation therapy is particularly beneficial for respiratory issues. Modern facilities offer both individual and group bathing options, ensuring a complete rejuvenating experience in a calm and tranquil environment.
The area is surrounded by the distinctive natural beauty of Evros, while its proximity to the hill of Agios Georgios provides opportunities for short excursions. It is an ideal destination if you are seeking a connection with the past through an authentic wellness experience, away from the pace of the city.
