A coastal town located at the southernmost tip of Evia
Nestled in the embrace of a petal-shaped bay, Karystos strikes a perfect balance between tranquillity and vibrancy. Just a stone’s throw from Athens, it combines the feeling of an island escape with the imposing presence of Mount Ochi and its long history. The city captivates with its neoclassical architecture, spacious squares, and picturesque harbour, where walking along the promenade and watching the sunset become a daily ritual. At the same time, the surrounding area unveils a remarkable mosaic of landscapes: rugged coastlines on the Aegean Sea, tranquil beaches on the Evian Gulf, gorges leading to the sea, ancient chestnut tree forests, and windswept peaks. Dimosari Gorge, the Dragon Houses of Mt Ochi, and the legendary Cavo d’Oro create a captivating setting for nature and adventure enthusiasts. The traditional villages of the area, scattered between the mountains and the coastline, preserve the local heritage, gastronomy, and customs. Karystos is a place of authentic flavours, local products, musical tradition, and cultural events that bring vibrancy throughout the year.
