Chalkida, Euboea Greece

The city of Chalkida welcomes you with fabulous seafood and a unique tidal phenomenon, setting you up for more adventure and discovery as you head into Evia The city of Chalkida sits across from long and narrow Evia, the second-largest island in Greece… but you don’t have to take a boat to get there. Instead, there are two bridges. The magnificent suspension bridge is impressive but the real magic, the ‘crazy waters’ of the Gulf of Evia, is best seen from the old bridge of Chalkida just beyond it. It may seem like a really small tide for those used to the Atlantic but this phenomenon is seen nowhere else on the planet. Every six hours the tides here change direction, for reasons that science is still unable to fully explain. Hundreds of visitors come to Chalkida on a day trip from Athens, though not only to see the bizarre tides. More likely, they are drawn by the warm atmosphere, the cafes and bars, the walks by the shore and the delicious seafood. Some things to do in Chalkida : Cross the bridge and be welcomed into Evia, stroll along a waterfront of seafood treats, visit the castle that once protected Chalkida, etc
