      <description><![CDATA[Agia Anna takes its name from a deliverance.

They built their village around that grace and named it for her. Today Agia Anna sits in the green northern reaches of Euboea, a quiet community most of the year that transforms each summer as visitors pour toward one of the longest beaches in Europe.]]></description>
