Ancient theatre, island beaches and an easy cultural escape from Athens.
Eretria combines a significant archaeological site and museum with a modern waterfront town and ferry access across the South Euboean Gulf.
Ancient Eretria was one of Euboea's major city-states. Its theatre, House of the Mosaics, temples and city walls spread across a broad site, while the museum displays finds that clarify the city's links across the Aegean.
The modern town has a marina, beaches and restaurants facing Attica. It is a practical family base and a cultural stop, especially when paired with nearby Amarynthos or the ferry crossing from Oropos.
Practical information
Seasonal ferries cross from Oropos and roads connect through Chalkida. The ancient site is dispersed and exposed; allow time and check museum hours.
