Norh Evia: Oreoi
Tommorow morning you'll be a stranger,
a boat sunk on a deep coast.
You will seek for me to resque you,
but I will not be able to save you.
If only in my kisses you could take my heart,
so that I would be in pain instead of you.
(If only) you could cry for love with my own tear
since, one way or another, I will love you.
Tommorow morning you'll be a stranger,
a boat sunk on a deep coast.
Tommorow morning you'll be a stranger,
a boat sunk on a deep coast.
You choosed a life, broken dreams,
rotten stairs with no end
If only in my kisses you could take my heart,
so that I would be in pain instead of you.
(If only) you could cry for love with my own tear
since, one way or another, I will love you.
Tommorow morning you'll be a stranger,
a boat sunk on a deep coast.
Oreoi (Greek: Ωρεοί) is a village and a former municipality in Euboea, Greece. It was named after the ancient town Oreus.
A large marble statue of a bull from a funerary monument of the 4th century B.C. was raised from the harbour of Oreoi in 1965, and is exhibited in the town.
This exquisite, bulky sculpture, that presently is exhibited in a protective glass case behind the temple of the Savior, near the port of Oreoi, was found in August of 1965 buried in the coast of the town. It belongs to the Hellenistic period and is 3,2m long. The weight of the exhibit, which is made of marble from Thasos, is over six tons. Only the bottom limbs and horns haven’t been saved.
The latter were obviously constructed with some precious metal and removed during a raid that took place against the city (possibly by the Romans and Attala). The sculpture is made of three compact pieces. The front muscles are depicted by means of great carving. Three folds in the neck of the animal depict the swerve of the animal’s head in an offensive stance. The statue was positioned on a pedestal and dates back to between 290 and 280 BC. Researchers connect its existence with that of a temple in the area, considered it a dedication by Demetrius the Conqueror with specific visually political meaning, implying the reconstitution of the Commonwealth of the Evians with this Macedonian leader.
Greek Caribbean: Nisiotissa beach, Euboea island | Travel Guide
One kilometer west of the village Neos Pyrgos in northern Evia island there is a beautiful beach named 'Nisiotissa'. On a small rocky islet named 'Monastiri', a few meters from the seashore lie the remains of a small medieval construction.
It is certainly from the Frankish period (13th or 14th century) but its purpose is not known exactly. From the position one could assume it was a watchtower but there are indications it was just a mill or perhaps a Frankish chapel.
Unique beauty, incredible view, emerald waters and a beach that will remain unforgettable, is what you will experience when you visit the beach at Nisiotissa. It is one of the most impressive beaches in North Evia with a view of the island and ruins of an ancient tower at its highest point. The beach is a point of interest for many visitors. One thing is certain, those who visit this beach will come back again.
