We carry on our ‘beaches survey’ mission by exploring the eastern coast of southern Euboea, from Koskina to Kalamos. What we discovered: a series of nice, though not spectacular beaches, more or less perfect for a couple of days stopover, especially in case you are looking for peaceful holidays enjoying the sea and the sun. A simple place, far away from mass tourism…

Euboea, two beaches to be avoided!
Once we set foot in the beaches Limnionas and Armiriki we realised that they both belong to the category “love it or hate it”. We ‘hated’ it for the obvious reasons. Too much crowded, too much noisy… Yet you should bear in mind that our visit took place in the second week of August, so perhaps we exaggerate things a little! Anyway we moved to the next beach Zarakes which is not bad at all, less beautiful but much more suitable for longer stays.
Euboea, the mysterious dragon houses
We linger a little longer in the hinterland of Southern Euboea to discover more wonders hidden in the mountains. This time it was the turn of the enigmatic “dragon houses”. These megalithic, archaic constructions known as drakospita are scattered throughout the central and southern part of the island. We visited the group of Palli-Laka which is easily accessible from Styra and we’ve been fairly impressed!
