Seven mythical islets of untamed beauty
Once known as the Lichades, these seven uninhabited islets boast lush greenery, golden sands, and turquoise waters. Ancient Greek myth claims they are fragments of Lichas, a servant of Heracles, whom the hero cast into the sea, deeming him responsible for the poisoned cloak Lichas delivered on behalf of Deianira. The myth conceals a grain of truth: studies suggest these islets emerged after landmasses separated from northern Evia due to volcanic activity.
The Lichadonisia include Monolia, Megali Strongyli, Mikri Strongyli or Mikro Lichadonisi, Steno, Vagia, Vorias, and Limani. Other diminutive rocky islets in the vicinity constitute the so-called Pontikonisia.
Monolia, once inhabited, has been deserted since the 1960s due to lack of electricity and water. It is long and features a natural harbour. Megali Strongyli (meaning “Large and Round”), the southernmost islet, derives its name from its circular shape. This islet forms the peak of an underwater volcano.
