Politika is a picturesque coastal village, within a short distance from the lush green forest of Profitis Ilias. It is located only 25 kilometers away from Chalkida. In the centre of the village there is a square, surrounded by a few beautiful stone houses of traditional architecture patterns. You can drop by the spot and have arrest under the shade of the plane trees. Wandering inside the village, you will have the chance to see a Tower that has remained since the years of the Venetian rule. Later on you can head towards the extended sandy beach of Politika and have a swim in its clear blue waters. Across the beach there are lots of summer houses with blooming gardens, along with some lodging facilities for you to stay and restaurants where you can order a traditional Greek meal of fresh fish and seafood.
Among the sights of the area, the monastery of Virgin Mary Perivleptou is considered really special. It is located within a distance of 3 kilometers approximately and dates back to the 11th century. If you keep going towards a northwestern direction you will pass by the wonderful natural environment of Nerotrivia and you will arrive to the beach of Daphne, where the pine trees literally reach the sea shore. Above the beach there are some shops where you will be able to enjoy a cool drink or a rich meal. |
