An Interesting city with a Museum & Ancient ruins

Eretria is a very popular destination for tourists who can get here either by ferry from Skala Oropou, or by bus through Chalkida. It is located on the western coast of Evia overlooking the Attica coast along the Evia narrow gulf.

It used to be an important city in ancient times and for this reason there are ruins and an interesting museum.

It has beautiful sandy beaches and there are many café bars and restaurants throughout the coast.
