Chalkida<\/span><\/p>\n

Chalkida, the capital of Evia is an administrative, commercial and industrial center.
\nIt is situated at the point of the island that has the narrowest sea-crossing to the coast of Central Greece opposite the straits of Evripos.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Until recently, traffic between the island and the mainland passed over the old draw-bridge, which opened to allow ships to pass.
\nFrom the bridge can be observed the periodic tides through the straits.
\nThe island is now linked with the mainland by a high-level bridge that shortens the journey considerably.<\/span><\/p>\n
