The island of Evia is no more than a infinitesimal dot on the surface of the globe’s sphere. It is a dot, however, which is distinguished by the light of a particular grace which nature has preserved for it, demonstrating thus a bias, against the other areas of our planet.

The combinations which are seen in this Greek region are truly unique. The blue of the beautiful Greek sea, the green of the rich mountain flora, the traces of a life lost to our planet’s mysterious past, the remains of great ancient civilizations next to the so many modern tourist facilities – all these coexist and continuously place Evia at the forefront of travelers interests. In Evia’s favor we could add, the easy and trouble-free access to the island for visitors, since bridges as well as ferry lines have transformed Evia into a peninsula of both Greece and Europe.

Thiw earthy heaven includes also the beautiful and interesting region of the Municipality of Styra. The Municipality of Styra includes the narrowest section of the island of Evia. Styra, the main town of the Municipality, is located 89 kilometers south-east of Chalkida. Mount kliosi (685 metres) and its foothills create an idyllic landscape in the region, completing the picture provided by the lace-like coast of the gulf of Evia and the bays of Almiropotamos and Nea Styra. The small Stouronisia islands give the impression of guarding the bay of Styra from the western side. The largest, is the island of Styra (ancient Aigeilia), whilst smaller ones are Verdouni, Agios Andreas and Fonia or Founias.
