Stop planning; erase that “must see” checklist from your mind. Just look, feel, discover!

Evia is all about discovering. The island between two seas, Aegean and Evian Sea, as the locals call the waters of the Evian Gulf, has the privilege of not being stormed by mass tourism.

It feels raw, untainted. Wild oleanders spreading between olive tree plantations, naturist beaches fighting against organized relaxation. Caves and beautiful stone formations, exposed layers of history, compressed in the time capsule of molten rock that once rushed towards the sea. Mysterious places and hidden oases in its mountains. They are all there, waiting to be discovered…

And, after all this exploring, as you avidly look for shade on the tiny streets in nearby villages, healing from the harsh midday sun, you will discover even more treasures: family-run shops and cafeneias, fishermen roaming across the streets to sell their daily catch in vintage cars. And, even an unique recipe for baklava. Efcharistó pára polí Evia!
