A balcony over the Aegean with maritime history and orchard country.
Kymi combines a high hillside town, a working lower port, traditional architecture and access to eastern Euboea's exposed beaches.
Kymi is often called the balcony of the Aegean because its upper town looks far across the open sea. Neoclassical houses and the Folklore Museum reflect shipping wealth, while the port below maintains ferry and fishing connections.
The surrounding slopes produce figs and other fruit, and roads lead to waterfalls, monasteries and beaches facing the full force of the Aegean. Kymi has the feel of a regional town rather than a seasonal resort.
Practical information
A car is the practical way to navigate the steep distance between town, port and beaches. Ferry routes are seasonal; check wind and road conditions.
