Group
of Drakospita of Pali Laka. One of the most significant
samples of the renowned "Drakospita"
(prehistorical houses) of Southern Evia, for the age of
which the modern researchers are disputing. Some of them are
dating them since before 700 BC. In this location, we have a
complex of three "drakospita" with a common
courtyard.
They
are on the mountain over today’s Stira and underneath the
famous stronghold of Stira. The visitor will be led to
"drakospita" (as soon as he reaches the area
through a rough country road) by taking a considerably
acclivitous and difficult path
(500 – 600 m), which ends to some sort of scales.
Tower
of Mavromichalis (Stira). The ruins of the mill, in
which the young hero fell on the 12th of Ja-nuary in 1822,
as he was fighting against the numerous Turks that were
laying siege to him. A few yards before we reach the mill,
there is a monument in the honor of the ones that fell in
the battle of Stira in 1822.
"Drakospito"
of Kapsales. The more accessible "drakospito"
in Evia. It is by the road from Stira to Karistos, very
close to Kapsala. It is in a very good condition.
Folklore
museum of Kapsales. A folklore exhibition of very good
taste, representational of the tradition of the residents of
Southern Evia.
Castle
of Filagra. Castle on a natural fortifying and rocky
hill, in the area of Akteo (Skouasi).
