HISTORICAL MONUMENTS V

"Drakospito" and the ancient quarries of Ochi. One more "drakospito" of great interest, right to the top of Ochi, in which there have been found objects dated since before the 5th century BC.

The access to this "drakospito" is a chance for a wonderful and healthy walk. In the surrounding area, there are signs from the ancient quarries, from which the famous green marble of Karistos was mined.

 Kokkinokastro of Karistos. The stronghold that garlands the beautiful ancient capital of the Southern Evia.

Giokalio Archaeological museum of Karistos. A very interesting museum, with a lot of archaeological findings of the region. The Folklore museum of Deligiorgis, also draws one’s attention.

Mpourtzi. A bi-level fort, still in perfect condition, at the east of the port of Karistos. A remarkable fact, is that between the building blocks of the structure, there are marbles originating from an ancient pagan temple.

Ancient Gerestos. Archaeolo-gical site in the location of the ancient city.

Archaeological site of Platanisto. Signs of an ancient village by the name of "Elliniko". In these, a big wall constructed of square blocks is also included.
