Activity Description

First day

Chalkida: 87 km from Athens - 1-hour drive - 30 minutes stop.

Chalkida is the main city of the island of Evia in Greece, located in the Euripus maritime strait. The name survives from antiquity and comes from the Greek kalkos (copper, bronze), although there is no trace of mines in the area. In the late Middle Ages, it was known as Negropont(e), an Italian name that has also been applied to the entire island of Evia.

Loutra Aidipsos: 102 km from Chalkida - 2 hours driving - 30 minutes stop.

Aidipsos is a village and former municipality in Evia, Greece. The municipality of Aidipsos was founded in 1997 and 80 of the 752 thermal springs of Greece are located in Aidipsos, making it a popular tourist destination.

The thermal baths date back more than 20,000 years. At the modern boundaries of the municipal units are the ruins of the ancient city of Aidipsos.

Vasilika: 22 km From Loutra - 30 minutes drive - swimming - lunch - 30 minutes stop.

Welcome to Vasilika, a paradise for swimming lovers in Evia! Located on the stunning shores of the Aegean, it offers a haven of crystal clear waters and beautiful beaches. Dive into the refreshing turquoise sea and feel the warm embrace of the Mediterranean sun on your skin.

With its picturesque seaside charm and welcoming waters, Vasilika Evia promises an unforgettable swimming experience that will rejuvenate you. Dive in and let the magic of the Greek coastline envelop you!

Agios Ioannis Rossos: 42 km. - 50 minutes - 30 minutes stop.

Agios Ioannis, born in Russia in 1690, experienced the war with Turkey in 1711. Captured and enslaved, he faced oppression and attempts to change his faith. Nevertheless, his virtuous behavior won him sympathy, allowing him to practice religion. He performed animal guarding and care work with love. At the age of 40, he fell ill and passed away. Originally buried in the church of Agios Georgios, his body and holy relic were placed in a marble urn. In 1832, the relic was thrown into a wooden pile but miraculously remained intact. Today, the shrine attracts people seeking healing. In 1924 the relic was brought to Evia by Christian residents of Prokopio. Transported by the ship "Vasilios Destounis", a temple was built in 1930, and completed in 1951.

Kymi: 153 km from Vasilika - 3 hours drive - free schedule - rest.

The beautiful town of Kymi is built in the eastern part of the prefecture of Evia and has the most important artificial harbor of the prefecture. It is amphitheatrically built in a green environment with abundant water, surrounded by traditional settlements, caves, forests, and beaches, which create an idyllic landscape.

Second day

Start at 10.00 am - Karystos 90 km from Kymi - 1.50-hour drive.

Dystos: 35 km - 45 minutes driving - 30 minutes stop.

The ancient city of Dystos was mentioned by the historian Theopombus in the 4th century BC. During the 1950s, the Hellenic Electricity Company established a steam power station near Lake Dystos in the town of Aliveri. This power plant used the lake water for the cooling system.

Marmari - Megali Ammos

This well-known beach is located on the southwest side of the island, in the Marmari area. But what is it famous for? The water is deep all year round and the currents strong, something to consider and avoid if you have small children with you. This unique phenomenon, in addition to the strange shapes of the sand all along the coast, makes this beach so popular. Worth a visit! (2 hours free time - swimming).

Karystos: 17 km. from Marmari - 20 minutes drive - 3 hours free time in the city - lunch.

Karystos is a small seaside town on the Greek island of Evia. It has approximately 5,000 inhabitants and is located 129 km south of Chalkida. From Athens, it is accessible by boat via Marmaris from the port of Rafina. Its urban plan was designed by the famous Bavarian civil engineer Bierbach, in the middle of the 19th century, near the site of the ancient city of Karystos.
