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.

KARYSTOS (Town) EVIA
The capital of southern Evia, Karystos, is built on the southern part of the island on a cove and in the shadow of mount Ochi. It is a modern town, developed for tourism. Karystos is approximately 120 km southeast from Chalkida but with a ferry connection to the eastern coasts of Attica.
The area has wonderful beaches and picturesque villages on mount Ochi, combining both sea and mountain. It can be the base for enticing tours to beaches or the mountain villages of Cavo D’Oro, in the Dimosari canyon.

MESSOCHORIA (Village) KARYSTIA
Tel: +30 22240 53274
Messochoria, of the Municipality of Styra, took their name from one
of the villages. These villages, aside from Messochori
itself, are Riza, Souristra, the Charitides and Korfiotes, which is located on
the height. Along with the hamlets of Raptei
and Tsakei they have a population
of around 600.
The villages are located around 3.5 km from the Aegen
Sea and have two exits onto the discharges of the small dry streams, where
there are the bays of Almyriki (or Armyrorychi) and Limnionas. During the German
occupation, Greek and British members of the resistance escaped to the Middle
East from these bays and that at Tsakei. The bay of Limniona with its clean sand
has today developed into a summer resort.
There is a stone fountain with a vaulted arch at Kamara. This village
was known as Paleochori in Byzantine times. The hermitages of St. Dimitrios, St.
Nicholas and St. George, with a vaulted arch in the sanctuary, are still standing.
In the ravine there are the remains of a watermill which was built in 1890. A
trip to the ruins of the Monastery of the Evangelism of Tsakei, which today still
functions as a monastery due to the presence of one nun, is worth a visit.

NEA STYRA (Port) EVIA
Nea Styra has today evolved into a summer resort with great prospects
for further development. It was once however nothing more than the seaport of
Styra and a beautiful coast.
The first settlement with the name of Gkisouri, was built in 1895. It took the
name of Nea Styra in 1940.
Today, Nea Styra is served by one of the ferry lines which connect
southern Evia with shores of eastern Attica. There are also regular car ferries
to and from Agia Marina on
the opposite coast.

STYRA (Village) EVIA
Modern Styra is a beautiful and well cared for market town, which
also acts as the seat of the Municipality of Styra. It lies at a distance of around
four kilometers from the sea and Nea
Styra. Important historical monuments of the medieval and modern periods are
the Castle of the Armenians and the two small churches found inside of it. The
stone-covered church of St. Nicholas, built in the early 1800s, is located at
the peak of the hill on which the castle lies, and the hill takes its modern name
from the church. The Church of the Virgin Mary of the Castle was, as two inscriptions
near the entrance testify, rebuilt in 1746 on the ruins of an earlier single-aisle
covered basilica.
