Agia Anna is located in northern Evia and is built amphitheatrically on the lush slopes of Mount Xiro, overlooking the Aegean Sea. The village is surrounded by dense forests and fertile land, while a short distance away is the famous Agali beach, the longest on all of Evia.
The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times, with finds indicating the presence of people as early as the Palaeolithic era. Thanks to its strategic location, Agia Anna has often been at the centre of raids and conquests, which have left behind legends and memories, such as the name Sarakiniko, which refers to a small coastal pirate hideout. Legend also has it that where the church of Agia Anna is located today, the inhabitants were saved from pirates and then found a miraculous icon, which was envisioned by a pious woman.
Today, Agia Anna retains its authentic character, with narrow streets, colourful houses and a lively central square, while Agali beach turns into a bustling resort in the summer. The wider area is ideal for exploration, with waterfalls, gorges, streams and stunning beaches overlooking the Aegean Sea.
