Chalkida – Unique waters

Chalkida is a city of crazy waters, but…
Chalkida is a completely… smart city, even though the waters under the old Chalkid Bridge run in different directions every six hours. Global phenomenon. What is the cause of this phenomenon? All this and much more you will learn by participating in KrisTravel tour. Chalkida is the capital of the island of Evia, one of the most important cities in the Attica region, both, in ancient times and now. Here you will find not only the archeology, the legacy of the Turkish Empire, the military fort, the sacred objects, but also the protected sea turtle. Even Aristotle spend his last days of life here in Chalkida.
Fresh fish, other seafood, juicy barbecue in restaurants, top rated beaches, a never-ending romantic quay with cafes in it, important subjects such as Kokkino Spiti (Red House) 1884, House with Statues, Archaeological Museum and The municipality building, whose architecture shows the elaborate elements of Baroque and Italian eclecticism … all this is a unique Chalkida sunny character.
