Every day shortly after 7.30 in the morning and after 14.30, the 11 crimson BAE Systems Hawk T1 aircraft, which are the famous "Red Arrows" squadron, make their appearance in the southern Evia and perform some of the unique stunts. Those who are on the beaches of Kalamos, Oropos, Halkoutsi, Dilesi but also Eretria, Aliveri, the surrounding areas but in the surrounding villages enjoy rare performances of the legendary squadron every day. The crimson planes come from Tanagra and for 20-25 minutes give a real recital diving from 40,000 feet making maneuvers and figures even a few meters above sea level.
