A vacation in these places will especially appeal to those who appreciate silence and tranquility among deserted beaches, green mountain forests and groves, as well as thermal springs. Moreover, the price for local hotels, like prices for 3-star hotels in Rome, for example, are not 'biting' at all!
The healing springs of radon-rich hot waters have since ancient times attracted both the Greeks themselves and tourists from all corners of the globe with their beneficial effect on the body in the treatment of cardiovascular, rheumatoid, as well as reproductive system diseases.
Evia was subjected to numerous conquests, which resulted in the ethnic and religious diversity of the island's population. The territorial features of Evia's location contribute to a balanced combination of an extensive cultural program on the mainland and relaxing beach holidays.
One of the most popular tourist places is Eretria – an ancient city with a rich history. Almost like Rome, though much younger, yet prices for 4-star hotels in Rome are quite comparable to those here. Interest in Eretria is primarily due to its picturesque surroundings, excellent beaches and an abundance of historical and cultural attractions. The city is located on the west coast of Evia, 95 km from the Greek capital. To get to Eretria, you can take a ferry or a 14-meter bridge connecting the island to the mainland.
The Euripus Strait, over which this bridge is thrown, is a unique natural phenomenon. The water masses move through the strait at great speed, but at intervals of 4-6 hours the water suddenly stops and the current changes direction. There is a legend that Aristotle tried to explain the nature of this phenomenon. But, having not found the answer, the thinker in despair threw himself into the waters of the stream and drowned, and the mystery remained unsolved.
