💡 Tips
- Experience the free natural thermal springs that flow directly into the sea at the public beach.
- Taking the ferry from Arkitsa on the mainland is usually faster and easier than driving the winding roads of Evia.
- Rent a car to explore the mountainous interior and traditional villages surrounding Istiaia.
