The Old Stone House on Evia Island, situated at the end of a quiet earth road in the foothills above the town of Karystos, is a renovated 100-year old traditional stone house, retaining many of the original features and feel while providing the conveniences of modern facilities. The layout is unusual, providing a large kitchen, a dining room with a couch that can sleep one extra person and a bedroom on the upper floor and two further bedrooms, the living room (stereo system, open fireplace, guest library), two bathrooms with shower and toilet and a small atrium at the lower entrance level. Outside there is a large terrace with pergola on the upper floor, a small balcony outside the living room and an extensive garden with pool (4X5 x 1.5metres) and poolside pergola. The position of the house provides wonderful views across farming land towards the sea. The house faces west and so the sunset is a daily spectacle.
This house is a peaceful oasis with a panoramic view!

Information about the Holiday House in Evia, Greece
Karystos, Evia Island: Karystos is far away from any international tourism centers with a noticeable lack of "Pubs" and all-night discos. This is the REAL Greece. The Old Stone House provides a naturally quiet and un-overlooked rural environment whilst being on the edge of a village and only five minutes drive away from the town. The area is famous for walks, particularly the two-day trek up the mountain overlooking Karystos, Mt. Ochi (1.400 m) and down the gorge to the sea on the other side. There are also shorter walks to extremely interesting and beautiful locations. There is even a lovely “after dinner” walk from the house to the local mountain stream where there is a traditional plane tree copse, church and picnic area. There is the constant sound of running water in the distance. There are extensive and varied beaches within 5 or ten minutes drive. In Karystos Bay they are sandy and get deep after 5 or 6 metres. A little further away, on the western side of the island, they get deep after 50 metres. On the East, facing the Aegean and the summer meltemi winds, there are rollers and sand dunes.
Eating out in Karystos: The many tavernas, "Ouzerias" and sea-side cafes provide a wide choice of eating out at very reasonable cost. The port is large, home to a serious fishing fleet, and there is an abundance of fresh fish, at a price.
