See also the bathhouses in Kallithea. The domed building of the local hot springs is called Rotonta, and it has been known since ancient times for the healing properties of the red water which rose out of the ground. These hot springs were exploited by the Italians in 1929. The area is known for the popular beaches of Faliraki & Kallithea, little coves such as Ladiko (where the Guns of Navarone were filmed in 1961) and the beach named after famous actor Anthony Quinn.
