Karystos is a lively town with well-laid out streets, squares and public neoclassical buildings. You could visit the Castello Rosso (Red Castle), the Fort Bourtzi, the Archeological Museum, the Library, the Folklore Collection, the Roman temple of Apollo in the centre, the gorge of Dimosari, the Dragon House on mount Ohi. The parks, the jetty and the roads that wind along the coastline are very beautiful to walk along, ideal for resting, relaxing, romantic and personal moments. In the traditional cafes on the sea front you can enjoy the spirit of ouzo, the breeze and the sea stories of the fishermen under the mulberry trees and the drying octopus. The food that is served in the taverns and restaurants of the town is good authentic Greek food, fresh fish (the catch of the day), fresh meat, home-grown vegetables and local wine.
