The Euripus Bridge

Chalkida is a unique resort for the residents of Athens, as these two cities are very close to each other. Halkida is considered one of the most beautiful cities of Greece. The old bridge is the trademark of the city. The visitor there can enjoy the view of the city from a distant place. The visitor can enjoy from the multiple restaurants and cafeterias the view of the port, the old bridge and the unique phenomenon that takes place at the straits of Euripus. The phenomenon is known as tide. Tides are the rise and fall or water levels. The strait of Euripus is subject to strong tidal currents which reverse direction approximately four times a day lasting for about six hours each.

Moving a little further someone can enjoy the Karampampa castle, a medieval fortress, built by the Venetian Gerolimo Galopo, the period of the Ottoman domination of the area. Halkidas’s castle is the venue of a lot of cultural demonstrations, which are really worth for someone to visit. From the one hand there is the tradition and from the other is a modern urban center. The “tall bridge” of Halkida, is a project that got completed in 1993, and converted the city to the modern urban center it is today, and it is considered as an achievement of modern mechanics. Built over 700m over the sea, it depends on 144 wire ropes, which start from the pillars of the bridge and hold all the weight. The bridge grants easy and safe access for anyone who want to visit the city by car.
