Istiaia is in the northern part of Euboea(Evia).

This is the largest and most developed city in the northern part of the island. Istaia was formerly known as Ksirochori. Today Istiaia, together with the nearby seaside resorts and beautiful beaches, attracts many visitors who come to add to the about 5000 residents.

The area offers a pretty good shopping area, hotels and guest houses, restaurants, taverns, cafes, bars and anything you may wish for. Extra tip: the Natural History Museum of Istiaia is really worth a visit.
