A steaming pool on a volcanic island accessible only by swimming and a bath-hot spring looking out onto the mountains are among Europe's amazing thermals spas.
Now that the dampness and cold of January has returned and the long nights are hemming us in our homes, the prospect of a steaming hot bath is particularly tempting.
Add to that stunning views of the Aegean Seas, the moors of Iceland or the Swiss Alps, and you have the ingredients for the perfect winter warmer.
