Almiropotamos
 |
Almyropotamos Beach is a lively beach filled with cafés and tavernas, attracting many visitors during the summer months. The beach has sand, as does the seabed. If you wish to stay overnight, there are hotels and rental rooms available. If you continue along the coastal road, you will reach another beach called Blue Lake, named for its strikingly blue waters. It is a very small beach with a beach bar.
The village is located 53 kilometers from Karystos. The residential area is limited. Administratively, the settlement of Panagia, or Almyropotamos Beach, belongs to the village. It is a picturesque location with a natural harbor on the South Evian Gulf. Originally, the first village was located here, taking its name from the spring waters that formed a small salty stream. However, due to pirate attacks, the inhabitants were forced to leave the area and settle further inland, where they were not visible from the coast. The exact time of the first settlement is unknown.
The locals speak both Greek and Arvanitika. They are mainly engaged in agriculture, olive cultivation, animal husbandry, and fishing.
The village¢s beach attracts tourist activity. The patron saint of the area is Saint John the Theologian, to whom the village church is dedicated. Just south of the village lies the narrowest part of Evia.
