Its diverse terrain features lush forests, dramatic mountains, picturesque beaches, and charming villages, making it ideal for both relaxation and adventure. Nature lovers will find plenty to explore on Evia, from the dense pine forests of Dirfys mountain to the mineral-rich thermal springs of Edipsos, known since ancient times for their healing properties. The island’s coastline boasts both sandy and pebbled beaches, with crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and water sports. Popular beaches like Agia Anna and Chiliadou offer beautiful settings, while quieter coves await those seeking tranquility.

Here, you can stroll along the waterfront, sample fresh seafood, and observe the unique tidal phenomenon of the Evripos Strait. Inland, stone-built villages like Steni and Limni invite you to discover local traditions, sample regional delicacies, and enjoy the warm hospitality of the islanders. Whether you’re looking for outdoor activities, cultural experiences, or simply a peaceful escape, Evia Island has something for every traveler. Its blend of natural beauty, historic charm, and authentic Greek atmosphere promises an unforgettable visit, just a step away from the bustle of the mainland.

About the destination: Athens takes its name after the goddess of wisdom Athena, who is celebrated by the magnificent Acropolis, which overlooks the modern, cosmopolitan city that Athens is today. Athens is one of the world’s oldest cities and it is the birthplace of western philosophy, democracy and theater. Up to this date, the Greek capital remains a major worldwide centre of culture, with its historic centre, iconic classical sites and museums filled with ancient Greece artefacts. The Acropolis, crowned by the emblematic Parthenon, has been proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cars were banned from the historic centre, which has become the most striking pedestrian promenade in Europe. In this archeological Park, visitors will witness the contrasting nature of this ancient metropolis being able to visit the New Acropolis Museum, a high-tech modern structure with light and airy exhibition spaces as well as the National Archaeological Museum, the largest archeological museum in Greece built in the 19th century and devoted to ancient Greek art. The Acropolis and Mount Lycavittos, the city’s highest points, are used as orientation since they are visible from most places in the Plaka, the old historical neighborhood. The Plaka is under the Acropolis and stretches almost to Syntagma, home of to the Greek Parliament. For a taste of the hedonistic Athenian lifestyle one should visit Monastiraki, where locals go to eat, drink and mingle. The night time belongs to Psirri, a vibrant neighbourhood known for its bars, live music venues and exciting nightclubs. Southeast of the city centre, a glorious stretch of coast affords dreamy views over the glistening blue Aegean Sea. Surely few European capitals can claim sandy beaches and clean water for swimming within such easy access. Athens therefore offers the best of both worlds – a fantastic city break as well as a lazy beach holiday. Athenians are surprisingly friendly and outgoing and their enthusiasm for life’s pleasurable pursuits is so infectious that even the stiffest traveler will take time out for endless coffees and evening strolls, dine out until late and enjoy the city’s nightlife, long after the rest of Europe has gone to bed.
