Charming and scenic, the city of Karystos has an amazing layout designed by the Bavarian architect Birbach in the mid-19th century. The monuments testify to the rich history of the region, a heritage of strength and importance it once had. Today, it is an invitation to a delightful walk in the wide streets and squares between beautiful neoclassicals or a historic walk in Bourtzi, an impressive Venetian tower of the 13th century.

Karystos has countless golden beaches and harbors, within walking distance of the city. Easily accessible and on foot, the organized beach of Psili Ammos with shallow, warm waters and fine sand is ideal for families. Kavos Beach is just a 10minute drive away and offers diving, fishing and water sports. For those looking for wild beauty, we recommend Potami Beach. It can be found about 40 minutes from Karystos, but it is worthwhile to follow the route to find a 1 kilometer long beach of fine sand and pebble, with two large rocks at the edges in a setting of incredible beauty. The scenery takes off the river, which, crossing the forest with the platanies, flows into the beach covered with platanos.

The area enjoys a wonderful combination of mountain and sea, offering plenty of experience for adventure enthusiasts. So, you may feel like you are on an island, but in just a few minutes you will find yourself on one of the most beautiful hiking trails in Greece, the famous Gondos of Demosari in the verdant Mount Ochi. Approximately 10 kilometers of the route are accompanied by the sounds of the homonymous stream that crosses the canyon, forming small waterfalls and ponds before reaching the beach of Kalianos where it is poured to blend with the waters of the Aegean.
