Audio Guide of Kymi Seaside Promenade

The Kymi Seaside Promenade is a public space open 24 hours a day, all year round. It is located in the port area (Paralia Kymis), about 4 km down the winding road from the main village of Kymi, and you can easily reach it by car or local taxi.

No, access to the promenade is completely free for all visitors. You will only need a budget if you decide to enjoy the seafood cuisine at the many tavernas and cafés lining the harbor.

For a relaxed walk while enjoying the sea breeze, we recommend setting aside between 45 minutes and an hour. If you plan to sit down for a meal or a coffee overlooking the Aegean Sea, your visit could pleasantly stretch to around 2 hours.

Kymi is known as the 'Balcony of the Aegean,' and its port has long been vital for trade and maritime connections, especially with the island of Skyros. This promenade is the heart of local seafaring life and reflects the rich naval tradition that has defined the region of Euboea for centuries.

The ideal time is at sunset during the summer months, when the sun goes down and the temperature is milder. It is also highly recommended to visit early in the morning to see the activity of the fishing boats and enjoy the calm of the sea.

Yes, the promenade area is mostly flat and paved, making it accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. It is far more accessible than the upper part of the village (Ano Kymi), which has steep slopes.

Very close by, you can visit Soutsini Beach for a refreshing swim or head up to the upper village to see the Kymi Folklore Museum. In addition, ferries to the beautiful island of Skyros depart from this very harbor.

Do not leave without trying Kymi's famous dried figs (PDO) or the local baklava at one of the pastry shops by the harbor. We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and keeping your camera ready for the panoramic views of the Aegean.
