Karystos (Greek: Κάρυστος) is a small coastal town on the Greek island of Euboea. It has about 7,000 inhabitants. It lies 129 km south of Chalkis. From Athens it is accessible by ferry via the Rafina port. Its urban plan was laid out by the renown Bavarian civil engineer Bierbach, in the middle of the 19th century, near the site of the ancient city of Carystus.
