Avlakia beach Print E-mail
Avlakia is the part of the coast which starts after Bouros, on the eastern tip of the bay of Karystos, and stretches east to Cape Mandelo and the lighthouse. It faces south and is the south-easternmost part of Karystia and Evia.
As the land slopes into the sea, it creates 5-6 promontories quite close to each other which enclose a series of small beaches.
Because this part of the coastline is exposed to the open sea, the waves here are often severe. The rocks are mostly limestone and schist and over the years sea erosion has formed caves, rocky platforms over the water and large grooves in the boulders. The seabed also displays many alcoves and interesting rocky formations.
Here you will enjoy the peace and quiet of a small beach, the beautiful rocky landscapes but above all the sense of isolation. It is an ideal spot for snorkelling and amateur fishing.
From Karystos we follow the main costal road east and after the village of Aetos we come to a forked junction. We take the right-hand fork and we continue on the coastal road that leads to Bouros, at the southern tip of the bay of Karystos (10km from the town). The asphalted road ends there and we continue on a dirt road. After a tight left bend we lose sight of Karystos and we arrive in Avlakia.
