Drymonas Waterfalls

Drymonas is a mountainous village in Northern Evia, at an altitude of 580m, located opposite the Monastery of Saint David, at a distance of 1km, at the foot of Xiro Mountain.
Its name is probably derived from the dense oak, and pine forests surrounding it, or from the severe cold that prevails in the area during the winter.
The path through the vegetation is simply magnificent. These gorgeous waterfalls are located at an altitude of 620 meters, by the road that begins from Rovies.

Chalkida

Chalkida is the capital and the main port of the island of Evia. It is built on the two sides of the Evripos Strait, with one part being on Evia and the other in Central Greece.
On its mainland, on the hill of Kanithos, dominates the Venetian Castle of Karababa, which you can visit in the morning and enjoy the city of Chalkida from above.
A highlight is the Evripos Bridge, which “opens” in the evening to allow ships to pass. The unique “Evripos” phenomenon is due to the change in the direction of the water every six hours, which means that all the small vessels and boats due to water flows can pass through at specific hours. Impressive scenery and surely does not leave our guests untouched.
Apart from its impressive bridges, Chalkida has a great market (Avanton) that is worth visiting for shopping or a walk, as there take place also various festivals and events, such as the street food festival.

We could not omit that Chalkida is also famous for its nightlife. Enjoy your drink on water front promenade overlooking the “crazy waters of Chalkida” and end the evening at one of the summer clubs of the city.
