BOUROS (AGALMA) beach in KARYSTOS (SOUTH EVIA)
It is situated in the south-easternmost part of the bay of Karystos, approximately 10 km from the town centre.
This area is called Bouros. The beach faces southeast and is sheltered from all the winds. There is a cantina as well as deck-chairs with umbrellas.
It is a sandy beach, approximately 80 m long, with relatively shallow and calm waters, which makes it ideal for families. After about 20-25m off the shore, the seabed becomes rocky and offers itself to snorkelling explorations and amateur fishing.
It is easily accessible from the main road which is asphalted from Karystos to Bouros. Starting from Karystos we head east and after the village of Aetos we take the right hand turn and follow the coastal road.
On the west extremity of the beach, built on top of a rocky outcrop, there is a distinctive statue depicting “the centaur and the nymph”, work of a folk artist.
There is also a slipway for the launching of small leisure boats.
