| Euripus Strait, Chalcis, with lift bridge linking Euboea to the mainland |
Chalcis (also called Chalkida or Halkida) is an ancient city on the Evrípou Strait, which separates mainland Greece from the island of Euboea (Evia). The weather in late November was still sunny and warm, so we thought, "Let's go to Chalcis, look around, and eat by the sea." A typical Greek outing.
An unusual phenomena of the Evrípou is an irregular tidal current, which changes direction six to seven times a day.

| Ice cream time |

| Nap time |
The municipality has cleaned up the waterfront and added benches and recreation areas.
This is a cheerful waterfront on a sunny day. Summer will be much more busy.

| They still sell Fanta in Greece? |

| Oh oh, getting the Evil Eye next to the Citroen 2CV (Samsung phone digital file) |
Dear Reader, you know what comes next: LUNCH in Nea Lampsakos, a few km south of Chalcis.
It does not get much better than this. And, of course, this is followed with a Greek coffee and a baklava. Ahhh.... (but no nap??)
This ends our November 2024 visit to Greece. I hope you enjoyed the short tour.

Delicious looking!
No country has a stronger connection to the Sea than Greece. And, they are right up there in their fondness for the 2CV.
