Istiea

Istiea sits on the northern plain of Euboea in Central Greece, where cultivated lowlands meet the wooded foothills of Mount Telethrio. The town is an administrative and commercial centre for northern Euboea, with the coastal settlements of Oreoi and Pefki close by on the island’s northern shores. Known as Xerochori until the early 20th century, it took its present name in reference to ancient Histiaea, once an important city of northern Euboea. Farming, local trade and seasonal coastal life continue to shape the area’s everyday character. Find related webcams around northern Euboea to build a fuller picture of Istiea and Central Greece.
