Poseidon / Giardini Poseidon Terme - Ischia

The thermal path

Simple tips to get the most out of a day at Poseidon Gardens and obtain the maximum benefit.

It is not possible to standardise the spa route: individual factors such as health status, age, training, constitution, etc. will determine the temperature and duration of the baths.
Access to the spa area is not permitted to children aged 0-11.
To get the most benefit from the waters, it's advisable to consult the doctors of the thermal baths and follow our advice. Not forgetting that a day at the Poseidon Gardens is also about fun and relaxation.

Some advice for the spa route

Useful steps and tips for an "ideal" spa route
  • Swimming in the sea
    Start off with a motion bath in sea water* to relax the body's muscles and prepare them for the subsequent pleasures of the thermal waters. Bathing in the sea must not lead to excessive cooling of the body.
  • Max 3 sauna cycles
    Natural sauna*: max 10 minutes followed by immersion in the cold bath at 15° C. To purify the body of any toxins accumulated and prepare it for the thermal path. Use of the sauna is not recommended for people with cardiovascular diseases.
  • Increase in temperature
    Gradual increase of temperature in the thermal pools.
    With the increase of temperature decrease the duration of the bath and extent of your movements.

    Raise the jets of the Jacuzzi* over the whole body, starting from the soles of the feet.
    Always retain a distance of at least 40 cm from the Jacuzzi.
    Never massage the abdomen or sore parts of the body. If used for too long it may cause irritation: maximum duration 5'.
