Almyropotamos is the most notherly village of the Municipality
of Styra, located close to the border with the Municipality
of Dystos in an area of great interest. It has 500 residents and is set in
a rocky hillside in front of the valley which spreads out from the Dipotamo river.
The coastal hamlet of Panagia
belongs administratively to Almyropotamos, as does the islet of Kavalliani.
Many commentators identify Kavalliani as the ancient Glaukonissos, in the soil
of which the Olympic winner Glaukos, son of Dimilos, was buried by his fellow
Karystians.
The palaeontological survey in the valley of Almyropotamos has uncovered
many important finds which belong to mammals of the so-called Picermius fauna.
These are mainly the remains of small-bodied horses which were no higher than
1.30 metres tall and had three toes on each foot. According to specialists, Picermius
fauna belongs to a steppe environment and has an Asian origin; it is dated to
around 13 million years ago.

Artemissio is the main village in the Municipality of Artemissio.
The old name of the village was "Kourbatsi" (Turkish word which means thrashing).

A tour of the village, where there are still houses dated from the
Turkish domination, is worthwhile. If you are fond of nature, you will enjoy walking
a little further from the village where there is a magnificent ravine full of
plane -, pine- and walnut-trees which will lead you to an area called "Agrilitsa".
