Chalkida

Chalkida stands out for its unique natural beauties, its glorious history and its friendly people. It is only 75 km away from Athens and the capital of Evia island.
Chalkida is the cross-road between Evia and mainland Greece. In the Euripus Strait, the Old Bridge brings together two different worlds, giving Chalkida an extraordinary vibe. This is a city of playful contradictions and endless choice.

Here you have the opportunity to take a walk on the slated sea-front of Halkida, where you can relax by having a coffee viewing the Euripos' channel and enjoy a meal of fresh sea-food at one of the fish taverns. You can also visit Kanitho's Fortress 500 m away, where many manifestations and concerts take place in summer. In a near distance there is also the Red House, the Medieval Church of Saint Paraskevi, the Turkish mosque and other monuments and museums.
