Hello intervac friends!

Our town is located in the area of the ancient city of Tanagra, only 7 km away from a beautiful beach (Dilesi), www.schimatari.gr ,with pine forest  and  with  a 10 min drive you can visit one of the most beautiful coastal cities of Central Greece, called Chalkida (http://www.dimos-xalkideon.gr/fotoAlbum.asp?pageID=392 in greek), in Evia Island .
Very easily you can visit many interesting places within 1-2 hours drive from Schimatari: The archaeological site of Delphi with the villages of the Parnassos Mountain, the town of Marathon with the fantastic sandy beach of Schinias Natural Park, the ancient theatre of Epidavrus, the cities of Livadia, Corinth, Loutraki and Nauplio (www.nafplio.gr).
