About This Seaport
Known in Greek as Porthmos Evripou, the Euripus Strait carries the commercial port of Chalkida at its narrowest point, where Euboea almost touches the mainland. The quays here handle iron and steel products, non-ferrous metals, fertilisers, chemicals and building materials rather than containers, serving the industry of central Greece with roughly 800 cargo-ship calls a year. Masters must respect the strait's notorious tidal current, which reverses several times daily and can run fast enough to dictate transit windows. Road bridges link the port to the Athens-bound motorway network, supporting breakbulk and project-cargo distribution inland. Containerised and large-scale customs traffic is better handled at Piraeus, with Volos a further alternative for bulk on the mainland coast.
