LIANI AMMOS beach in HALKIDA (CENTRAL EVIA)

Liani Ammos is a beach preferred mainly by locals where "palliria" phenomenon is very intense. The sea is pulled in a big sandy area is revealed and the sea is very shallow. It is located very close to the road and the tall appartment buildings and the scenery is not very attractive. However the beach itself is not bad.........GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT HALKIDA: Halkida (Chalkida), is Evia’s capital city with a population of 50,000, stopping in the old station under the old Turkish fortress, on the mainland side of the 120ft (40 meter) channel which is all that separates this long island from the mainland at this point. From there you can walk over the old bridge into town, which handles both pedestrian and foot traffic......The currents in the Evripous Channel below the bridge are known to change direction seven times daily, a bewildering phenomenon (palliria) yet unexplained......There is also a newer suspension bridge connecting the mainland with Evia that bypasses Halkida, and there are seven ferry crossings at various points.
