Eretria

Among the cities of Thessaly and Central Greece, Eretria is distinguished by its archaeological legacy on Euboea’s western shore beside the South Euboean Gulf. Once an influential ancient Greek city-state, it preserves an extensive archaeological area where streets, sanctuaries and public buildings reveal the structure of a classical polis. The remains include the ancient theatre, the Temple of Apollo Daphnephoros and the House of Mosaics, while the Archaeological Museum of Eretria displays finds from the site. Its waterfront faces Attica across the gulf, placing the town within a long-established maritime corridor between Euboea and mainland Greece.
