Southern Euboea has been home to important cities for centuries, cities like Halkida, the island's capital, and significant archaeological sites such as Eretria. The listed old houses of the ship masters and the seaside villages on quiet scenic beaches are real jewels. And here, in the interior of southern Euboea, we
encounter pine, oak, fir, and poplar forests. Running water such as the mineral water of the famous spring of Honeftiko. Picturesque villages with churches and monasteries but also an authentic island feel, like the port of Kimi from where boats leave for the Sporades.
Here the visitor has the chance to combine the quiet
life with wonderful sandy beaches under the sun, sea sports, tasty local specialities and fresh seafood, and delicious wine. The large amounts of sunshine in the Sporades and the "meltemia", the Aegean's seasonal northern wind, attract many tourists in the summers.
