Notes
The name Euboea can refer to either the island or a geographical region of Central Greece. The island of Skyros is contained within the Euboea region, and the capital city shares the same name – the photo is either looking over the capital city or another side of the island. The rocky, mountainous landscape and proximity to the coast suggests that the view is over the city itself.
