| | Euboea was a large island off the eastern coast of central Greece (Boeotia and Locris). | | | Salamis was an island in the Saronic Gulf, which became part of Attica in classical time. | | | After the war, Demophon and his brother left Euboea and won back Athens, either because Menestheus the usurper died in Athens, or he had migrated to the island of Menestheus. |

| | In 586 TN, feeling that they had Euboea well under control, Turin once again attacked the islands. | | | This began a long series of wars, battles and skirmishes between the Turinese and Yarbakan Empires, mainly over the rights to the islands which separate the Aqaba from the Ocean. | | | In 531 TN, the Okaffeans from Euboea attacked the mainland and captured the cities of Pernik and Vidin. |

| | You can equally head northwest for Halkida (Chalkis), the bustling capital of the island, and from there either continue on to the northern part of the island or rejoin the national road. | | | From Eretria you can explore all of southern and eastern Euboea; there are wonderful beaches around Karystos, Styra and Marmari as well as in the vicinity of kymi, not to mention a Venetian castle, a few ancient sites and unspoiled villages to whet your appetite. | | | The mountains in this region are well worth investigating, however, for a glimpse of what Greece is like without tourist development. |
