A beautiful cape is situated at the south- ernmost tip of Evia, and the physiognomy of the entire region is determined by the unique mountain that dominates the area.
“And Ochi is the name of the island and iden- tical is the name of its largest mountain” Strabo

The terrain of Ochi is mountainous, the main mountains being the Prophetis Ilias range (1339 m.) and Giouda (1386 m.). The northern and northeastern sections are intersected by ravines and they slope steeply towards the sea. The rock is mainly shale and cipollino marble. The terrain of the southern and western sections is smoother, but rock formations intermittently rise up in the landscape.

The region is geographically distinctive in that it has two radically different and discrete terrains: The northern and northeastern section of the mountain has steep forested slopes and is reminiscent of Pelion, while the southern and south-western is similar to the Cycladic islands. Ochi is situated between two seas. To the south and west is the Evoikos Gulf (Evia Gulf ), a large, protected gulf with relatively shallow waters. To the northeast is the Aegean Cavo d’Oro that has strong currents and very deep waters, even near the shore. In terms of climate, the north that looks out over the Aegean is humid and colder than the south, which has less rain in the winter and is dry in the summers. Ochi is a mountain on a cape full of contrasts.
