Southern Evia<\/span><\/p>\n

A road starting from Aliveri crosses southern Evia and ends at Karystos.<\/span><\/p>\n

We first come to Lepoura, Krieza and Zarakes.
\nMinor side-roads lead to the west coast and the beautiful seaside settlements of Boufalo, Agios Dimitrios and Panagia.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the east coast, overlooking the Aegean Sea, is Zarakon Beach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Continuing along the main road, we come to ALMYROPOTAMOS (77km. from Chalkida), a small village with several traditional stone houses.<\/span><\/p>\n

The small harbor at Panagia has a connection with the coast of Attica opposite (Agia Marina).<\/span><\/p>\n

We proceed to Mesochoria, Eleochori and Nea Styra (91 km. south east of Chalkida).<\/span><\/p>\n

NEA STYRA<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

At NEA STYRA, there is ample accommodation, as well as taverns.
\nThe settlement is connected by a frequent ferry service with Agia Marina.<\/span><\/p>\n

The village of STYRA is 4,5 km. away, inland, spreading around a verdant hillside with a superb view of the sea.<\/span><\/p>\n

MARMARI<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Further south there is a side road to MARMARI, a populous village and harbor, from which there are boats connecting Evia with Rafina, in Attica.
\nThe village has fine beaches, clear sea, adequate accommodation and taverns.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The bay of Marmari has a scattering of verdant islets, called Petali Islands.<\/span>
\nTo the north of Marmari is the deserted beach of Figia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Southern Evia<\/span><\/h3>\n

KARYSTOS<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Southern<\/a><\/p>\n

The road ends at KARYSTOS, a beautiful town with a large harbor, from which there are daily connections with Rafina.<\/span>
\nThe town has several characteristic old houses, a good urban design, a beautiful quay and a tourist infrastructure, with many restaurants, taverns, bars, discos etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

The beaches are beautiful and the sea superb.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The most important tourist sights are: a restored Venetian tower (Bourtzi), a 13th c. building to the right of the harbor, the Town Hall, a 19th c. neoclassical building, the ruins of the Venetian castle (Castello Rosso) on a wooded hill, with a superb view over the city, the nunnery of Agia Mavra, 2 km north-east of Karystos and the verdant area of Agia Triada, with its abundant spring water and twin churches. <\/span><\/p>\n

An ancient temple, which probably belonged to Apollo or Hephaestus has been found in the center of Karystos.<\/span><\/p>\n

To the east of the town, excavations have brought to light part of ancient Geraistos, while the Hellenistic acropolis of Karystos has been discovered near the village of Kokkali and the extensive Hellenistic cemetery at Paleochora.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Archaeological Museum of Karystos contains some important finds from the surrounding area.<\/span>
\nThere are several cultural events at Karystos, including performances of plays and exhibitions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Above Karystos, in the foothills of Mount Ochi, is scattering of villages: Grambias, Lala, Myli, Nikasi, Kalyvia and Pothi.
\nThese have fine views and abundant water and vegetation.<\/span><\/p>\n

KARYSTOS<\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n

2 km. south-east of Karystos is Aetos, with beautiful houses standing in fine gardens.
\nA narrower road continues on to the south, ending at the south tip of Evia, Bouros.<\/span><\/p>\n

A secondary road, which is quite difficult at a number of points, leads to the remote villages of Cavo Doro (Cape Kafireas).
\nIt is an enchanting journey through the unique plane wood of Platanisto.<\/span>
\nAt some points there is a breath-taking view over the ocean and the wild rocks.<\/span><\/p>\n

A small river flows in the ravine, issuing on the beautiful beach at the settlement of Potami.
\nOther villages in the area include Evangelismos, Amygdalia and Prinia.<\/span><\/p>\n
