Port of Agios Konstantinos, Fthiotida

Until a few years ago, before the completion of the new national road, Agios Konstantinos was a passage and a favourite stop for many travellers to and from Central and Northern Greece. The picturesque square of Agios Nikolaos with its large plane trees and the open-air theatre with its cafes and some taverns was an ideal resting point before continuing the journey.

With the new highway, Agios Konstantinos has of course been freed from the thousands of cars that used to cross its small road and it is worth visiting it while relaxing in its small harbour and its beautiful square. The coastal road leads next to the sea after 8 kilometres to Kamena Vourla while a few kilometres before you enter Agios Konstantinos is the summer resort of Longos.
