About Evia

Separated from mainland Greece by the Euripus Strait, verdant Evia is a mere hour from Athens. Hugely popular with Greek holidaymakers, Greece’s second-largest island remains relatively unknown amongst international travellers. Our Gurus think that it’s a wonderful destination, with a growing choice of accommodation options for couples, friends and families. We’ve highlighted out pick of the best places to stay on Evia below — a chic beach hotel, perfect for unwinding in style.

Often grouped with the Sporades Islands, Evia is a wonderfully green place of wildflower meadows, undulating hills, meandering rivers and pine forests. Vineyards have been making wine for centuries, overlooked by hilltop monasteries and charming stone villages. Follow walking and cycle trails to explore the island’s leafy interior, spotting abundant birdlife on your wanderings. The Dimosari Gorge trek, winding past the village of Lenoseoi in the Ochi Mountains and the Kallianou beach, is a particular favourite. Swims at lovely Limnionas beach are also brilliantly refreshing after a day in the hills.

Halkida — also called Chalcis or Chalkida — is the island’s largest town, and a great hub for foodies and culture buffs. The southern resort town of Karystos, on the other hand, has a more laid-back feel, with a popular promenade and lively tavernas. For ancient landmarks, visit the 5th century BC ruins of Eretria, Evia’s towering Venetian fortresses, or take a guided island tour. The team at the best place to stay on Evia will be happy to help you plan your adventures.
