In the Ottoman years there was also a bandit named “Lintzis”, who probably took his name from the demons of the springs.
In 1880, at the time of Trikoupis, the Baths were ceded to the Peloponnese Railways Organisation (SPAP), which proceeded to the first works for the exploitation of the hot springs by building a hotel and a hydrotherapy centre. In 1951 they were ceded to the GNTO (Greek National Tourism Organisation), after having been exploited by a private person, who then abandoned them.
Until the Regime of the Colonels there was a little train that linked Lintzi with Kavassila and Vartholomio.
A new hydrotherapy centre has been built, but has not yet been used. It is a modern hydrotherapy centre of 40.000 m² that cost 6.5 billion € (using EU funds).
The only operating hydrotherapy centre is the one of Trikoupis’ time (1890), which these last years is being visited by 5000 people during the summer season, with a 4,00 € ticket per person. Due to the particularity of the region, one can marvellously combine here medicinal and marine tourism.
Curative suggestions: Diseases of the respiratory system, asthma conditions, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema, laryngitis and skin diseases.

The Thermal Springs of Kyllini (also called Lintzi) are a region of infinite beauty. They are situated 9 km away from Kyllini and theirs is a wooded area occasionally interrupted by big pieces of cultivable land. As one approaches the Kyllini Baths the forest is getting thicker, extending all the way to the sandy beach.
Rare sand dunes have formed there for decades, with a dense vegetation of big cedars, salt cedars and sea daffodils. The Kyllini Baths have been renowned since the ancient times for their hot springs, the waters of which, as their fumes and mud, cure the arthritis, asthma and skin diseases.
There are ruins of installations of Roman baths.
One interpretation of the name is that the word Lintzi meant “bath” in Latin. Another version says that it means “Hades’ mouth”, from where the “litzeoi”, the demons, were coming out.
