Aidipsos is a traditional village in North Evia, located on the western slopes of Mount Telethrio at an altitude of 30 meters. It lies about 18 km southwest of Istiaia and just a few minutes away from the famous Thermal Springs of Aidipsos, with which it has almost merged while keeping its own identity and charm.
Aidipsos maintains its authentic Greek character with flower-filled courtyards, narrow streets, and warm hospitality. It’s a peaceful place that offers a glimpse of genuine local life away from the busy spa area. At its center stands the Metropolitan Church of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary, a historic landmark for the community.
The residents of Aidipsos proudly preserve their traditions with annual celebrations such as the “Burning of the Wreaths” and the feast of Saint John of the Herbs. During the Carnival period, the village square becomes lively with music, dancing, and food shared among locals and visitors.
On the southwestern side of the village stands the Elementary School of Aidipsos, one of the oldest in the region, operating continuously since the early 1900s. It is a symbol of the village’s dedication to education and community.
The village’s beach is the well-known Agios Nikolaos, where the church of the same name overlooks the sea. Every year, during the Epiphany, locals gather here for the Blessing of the Waters, a deeply rooted custom that unites the entire community.
Aidipsos is the peaceful face behind the famous spa town — a place to discover the authentic side of North Evia, where tradition, faith, and simplicity meet the beauty of nature.
