Karystion Hotel Karystos Island ***

Location:

Karystos is located in the southern partof Evia, Greece’s second-largest island. Above Karystos looms Mt. Ohi, Evia’s second-highest peak. A handful of traditional villages are nestled between Karystos and the Ohi mountain range, in verdant valleys whose streams never cease to flow. The largest of these vil-lages, Myloi, is crowned by the ruins of a Frankish castle; above the village, Roman quarries look much as they did when they were abandoned sometime in the second century CE. The largest of these (called the kolones, the columns) is on the path that leads to the area’s oldest    archeological site, a Hellenistic temple known as the drakospito (the dragonhouse),    on Mt. Ohi’s summit.

The Karystion Hotel is located on a tree-lined, park promontory overlooking the sea. At the park’s westernmost boundary, a Venetian tower stands at the edge of Karystos. The town is about 400 meters from the hotel, sits midway on a horseshoe-shaped bay whose pristine, undeveloped beaches stretch some twelve miles to the east and west.

Accommodation:

The three-floor hotel, built in 1965, was discerningly renovated in 2002. The ground floor reception and lobby open onto a lower, well-appointed breakfast/dining area and a post-modern, elegantly furnished lounge with a discreet café-bar. A wide, canopied, wraparound sitting-and-dining verandah accents the park’s idyllic beauty, as well as the hotel’s serenity.
