Chalcis Must-Sees

Chalcis, the gateway to Euboea, is defined by its unique position on the Euripus Strait, where tidal currents change direction multiple times daily. This collection highlights the city’s architectural heritage, from the Ottoman-era Karababa Castle to the medieval Venetian towers of the Lilantio plain. The list includes cultural landmarks like the neoclassical Old Municipal Market and the Demetres Mytaras Art Gallery, alongside the engineering of the two bridges connecting the island to mainland Greece.
