In this article charophytes are reported from the island of Evia, the second largest island in Greece. On 14 investigated localities, charophytes have been found in 11 of them. All localities, except one (loc. 2) are freshwater. The most common species is Chara vulgaris, which has been found in five localities, of which the waterfalls north of Dhrimona is the most interesting and where the alga has optimal conditions. The two species C. connivens and C. globularis were found in the highly eutrophic alkaline lake Dhistou. In north and west of Prokopi there are several lakes in an old mining area. In the two northern of these C. kokeilii, a rare species in Europe, was found. In the western lakes only C. canescens was found. As these lakes are freshwater, they are unusual places to find C. canescens.
