Day 1 – Historic Istiea and the thermal baths of Aedipsos

09:00–19:00 Light walks and relaxation

Discover the main points of interest in Istiea and end the day between the thermal springs and the seafront of Aedipsos.

09:00

Istiea Archaeological Collection

Start at the Istiaia Archaeological Collection, spending about 45–60 minutes among the artifacts that tell the story of the local area and the island of Evia. The location and opening hours may vary: check before going; consider an indicative entrance fee of 0–5 €.

If it is closed, use the time for a walk in the center.

10:15

Walk in the central square

Walk to Istiaia Central Square and take time to observe the town’s daily rhythm, the cafés, and the shops. A stop for a Greek coffee or a drink usually costs around 2–5 €.

11:00

Church of Agios Nikolaos

Make a short visit to the Church of Agios Nikolaos, a religious landmark in the center. If you find the church open, enter with respectful clothing and keep the visit to 15–25 minutes; admission is usually free, but may depend on services.

12:00

Lunch in Istiea

Choose a taverna or a place around the square for a simple meal of Greek specialties, salad, meat, or fish depending on availability. Expect roughly 12–25 € per person, excluding any drinks and dessert.

13:30

Transfer to Aedipsos

Drive to Loutra Edipsou by car: the journey takes about 25–35 minutes, depending on the route and traffic. Local bus services may be less frequent or seasonal; check the timetable in advance if you are not traveling with your own vehicle.

14:15

Aedipsos Thermal Springs

Spend the afternoon at the Loutra Edipsou Thermal Springs, known for the warm waters that emerge along the coast. Some spots are freely accessible, while organized facilities and services may have approximate fees of around 5–20 € or more: check conditions on site, the water temperature, and the usage rules.

16:15

Cave of Sylla and a walk along the waterfront

After your bath, look for the Cave of Sylla in the thermal area and view the formations and traces linked to the springs tradition from the outside. Access may not always be possible or set up for visitors; round off the visit with a relaxing stroll along the seafront and a stop at a café, approximately 3–7 €.

Estimated budget

Entrance to the archaeological collection, if applicable0–5 €
Coffee and drinks during the day5–12 €
Lunch in a taverna12–25 €
Access to a thermal spa or organized services5–20 €
Fuel for local transport, excluding rental6–12 €

The local currency is the euro (EUR), so no exchange is needed for those traveling from Italy. The figures are approximate estimates per person, may vary depending on the season and the services chosen, and do not include ferries, accommodation, or car rental.

Practical tips

  • Check the opening hours of the archaeological collection and any closing days before you set off.
  • Bring a swimsuit, towel and reef sandals: seaside thermal areas can have uneven sea beds and very hot water.
  • To visit both places in the same day, a car is the most flexible option; still check road conditions and parking in Aedipsos.
  • Follow the signs and local guidance at the springs: temperature, accessibility and facilities can vary from one spot to another.
