General information

Isternia is a picturesque village located close to the settlement of Kardiani. It is situated amidst a beautiful natural site, built amphitheatrically on the slopes of Mount Meroviglia. Standing at 310 meters above sea level, the village offers a magnificent view of the neighboring Syros and the vast blue of the Aegean. It is dominated by marble-paved lanes, two-story houses as well as marble lintels, and picturesque arches shadowing the narrow paths.

The entire area features exquisite examples of fine marble sculptures. It is worth mentioning that Isternia is the birthplace of many famous Greek sculptors including Lazarus Sohos, George Fytalis, and Iakovos Malakates. In 1987, the Museum of Isternian Artists was established to highlight and promote the area’s rich marble sculpting heritage, on the site of an old school of crafts. There, visitors can see first-hand many of the local artists’ most characteristic works along with biographies that provide further information on their lives and artistic evolution.

More about Isternia

A walk through the village reveals its architectural beauty. The marble plaza Glynos (1927), the old elementary school (1931), and the various old churches create a truly enchanting atmosphere. The Monastery of Katapoliani, established in the 18th century, houses a wonderful wooden iconostasis. North of the village is Mylon, where you will find some remarkable ruined windmills listed as traditional buildings. Dated to the 19th century, they boast fine examples of traditional folk architecture and have been labeled as historical monuments.

A marble-paved road connects the village with the lovely Isternia Beach. This idyllic destination boasts fine sand and striking blue waters and is the perfect spot for a tranquil swim. The region surrounding the beach offers some hotels and a few restaurants. A couple more accommodations can be found in the main area of Isternia.

Isternia is connected with the rest of the island via KTEL buses. Those departing from the capital make a few daily stops at Isternia, although the frequency of the routes may change depending on the day and the time of year.
