SPITHA beach in KARYSTOS (SOUTH EVIA)
Spitha is a very interesting beach since it is a double beach! The small promontory stretching to the east is low and narrow and the two beaches formed in the two sides seem to adjoin. It is located near Agia Paraskevi and Laka Saravanou beaches (see separate listings)
In order to reach the beaches you follow the main coastal road from Karystos to the west. About 7.5 km from the town centre you will pass over a hill, overlooking the beaches down bellow. Ahead of it and to the south you can see several small promontories which form a number of sheltered beaches. These are the beaches of Agia Paraskevi.
There are several asphalted roads that lead to various parts of the coast, hence, four of these beaches are very easily accessible. From north to south we find Laka Saravanou (8.8 km from Karystos), the north beach of Agia Paraskevi (9.6 km), the south beach of Agia Paraskevi ( 9.8 km) and Spitha (10.5 km).
All the above beaches are sandy with some pebbles and are orientated to the east.
The seabed is mainly rocky with some sandy sections, and is ideal for snorkelling and amateur fishing.
The area is sparsely vegetated with wild olives mainly, very few of which grow near the beaches.
