Family holiday in Evia

Evia is still a hidden gem few people know about it and even fewer mention it, but once visited, everyone leaves their heart there. Since it’s not as famous as its sister islands, even during peak season, it’s never crowded, perhaps because it’s so large and it’s easy to spread out. It’s a perfect destination for a family vacation, offering relaxation, adventure, untouched nature, and excellent cuisine.

The landscape of Evia changes constantly: in some areas, you’ll find fragrant pine forests, plains covered in olive groves, peaks to conquer, enchanting waterfalls, and of course, beautiful beaches that can satisfy every need.

The beaches of Evia are among the most beautiful in the Aegean, thanks to their crystal clear waters. Don’t miss Chiliadou Beach with its golden sandy shoreline, which contrasts beautifully with the turquoise sea, creating a perfect atmosphere for relaxation. Or, for a fun family day, head to the magical Agios Nikolaos Beach, ideal for snorkeling and exploring the underwater world with fins, masks, and snorkels. And what could be better than a trip to the small Lichadonisia archipelago a group of tiny islands, a true rarity in Greece. These mostly deserted atolls, covered in lush vegetation, give off a Caribbean vibe.

There are many things to do on the island of Evia, and seeing everything is nearly impossible. The island is vast, and the distances can be quite challenging. However, to fill your days during your family vacation, you can enjoy snorkeling, explore the sea caves along the coast, kayak in the hidden bays, and admire the wonders of Mother Nature. For those who prefer the inland, there are numerous trekking paths in the mountains that will take you to traditional villages. Don’t miss the Drymonas Waterfall, a place of endless natural beauty, which is also not far from the petrified forest of Kerasia. Treat yourself and your family to some wellness time at the ancient Edipsos thermal baths, an ancient holistic spa with natural springs. And be sure to visit Chalkida, famous for its tidal phenomenon called “Euripus,” a mystery that remains unsolved to this day.

As in all of Greece, Evia is rich in history and mythology. According to legend, it was inhabited by warrior giants, and the thermal springs were a gift from the goddess Athena to her hero Hercules, to help him rejuvenate after his epic labors. To better understand the history of Evia, visit Eretria with your children one of the island’s oldest cities with an ancient theater and an Archaeological Museum that will thrill your little explorers.

Evia is chosen for family vacations because it is less crowded and incredibly authentic. Activities for all ages, rich and untouched nature, timeless villages, and many adventures to experience together will help you rediscover the simple joy of creating lasting memories with your family.
