Karystos

Über Karystos

Karystos is a seaside town on the southern tip of Evvia, looking across the narrow strait toward the Greek mainland. It serves as the gateway to Mount Ochi, a rugged and windswept massif known for its ancient drakospita (“dragon houses”). The town’s small fortress and scattered ruins reflect its layered past, while its position makes it a natural stop for travellers arriving by ferry from Rafina.
