Dystos is a polis in the central/southern part of the island of Euboea. The characteristic hill in the valley of Dystos accommodated both the acropolis and the settlement. Long stretches of a 4th-century BC defensive circuit are preserved, with towers at intervals and a gate on the east side. The circuit encloses an area of about 5 hectares. From the gate a road leads to a wide terrace in the northern part of the city where the city probably lay. (Hansen, 2004:651) Dystos stands out for the number of residential buildings excavated there.
