Orei Port is a designated tourist marina located on the northern coast of Evia, Greece. The facility serves as a primary maritime hub for the Istiaia-Edipsos municipality, accommodating both private recreational vessels and small fishing craft. The port is anchored by a significant archaeological artifact, a large marble bull statue dating back to the 4th century BC, discovered in the sea nearby. The harbor area is integrated into the town of Orei, providing direct access to the Euboean Sea. Waterfront infrastructure includes mooring points for yachts and basic technical support for maritime visitors. The area functions as a central point for local aquatic activity and coastal transit within the northern Evia region.
