Car Hire Chalkida

Capital of Greek Island Evia, Chalkida is an ancient city overflowing with heritage and cultural attractions. It is an important stop for tourists who want to explore the lovely beaches on Evia's east coast.

Both island and mainland, Chalkida actually has a foot in both worlds. It sprawls like a butterfly across a narrow straight, occupying portions of Evia Island and mainland coast of Viotia. Two bridges span the strait, so it's easy to get back and forth with car rental in Chalkida.

While staying in Chalkida, tourists have the chance to enjoy the city's cosmopolitan side along with its historic character. The railway station is near the point of the western peninsula, while the city centre huddles across the bridge on Evia itself.

The network of ancient streets are fascinating to explore with car hire in Chalkida and include highlights such as a prominent Byzantine church, ancient Greek temples and a historic mosque. Most of the hotels, restaurants and shopping establishments are here on the Evia side as well.

With cheap car hire in Chalkida, getting around the island is painless. Athinon Chalkidos highway connects from the south and then meets the Chalkidas-Aliveriou road which circles a portion of the island. As Chalkida is the capital, most of Evia's highways begin and end here. Athens is 40 miles to the west and can be reached in less than an hour by hire car.
