Aedipsos ...more on Aedipsos

Clearly this is not your typical 'lay out all day on the beach and get drunk all night' kind of destination; there are many other activities to do in and around Aedipsos...

...Further on is the town beach with its clear waters, filled with families, couples and, of course, the ever-present senior citizens.  (to the right: Aedipsos as seen from the West)

There are many athletic and cultural events held in Aedipsos (or "Edipsos," a frequently seen spelling variation), including the Aedipsos Festival featuring dance performances by Greek and International groups as well as a Traditional Choral Song Contest.  There are tennis and beach volleyball championships and plenty of beautiful places to walk through and explore.  There are many water sports on offer, including jet skis, windsurfing, and sailing; and the fishing is excellent.  This is also an area famous for its hunting, and the Greek Hunting Association keeps it stocked with pheasant, partridge, and hare. 

Clearly this is not your typical "lay out all day on the beach and get drunk all night" kind of destination; there are many other activities to do in and around Aedipsos.  There are scenic mountain villages and beautiful beach towns nearby (Aghios Georgios Lihadas being a most picturesque one), and the entire island of Evia is a treasure-trove of natural beauty, monasteries, and archaeological sites, such as the Monastery of Saint George, built over the Temple to Apollo, two kilometers from the village of Polylofos.  There is also the well known Sacred Church of Saint John the Russian in the town of Prokopi, plus daily cruises to the popular Sporades islands of Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos, or, across the straits, to Kammena Vourla and Aghios Konstantinos, on the mainland coast of Fthiotida.
