Home > Isole > Evia

Evia, also known as Euboea or Negroponte, is an island full of surprises. Still relatively undiscovered by international tourism, it is so close to the mainland that it feels more like an extension of Attica rather than a true island. It is the second largest island in Greece, after Crete. Reaching Evia is very simple a convenient bridge will take you to this paradisiacal place in less than an hour.

The main beauty of Evia lies in its untouched, primordial nature: a succession of towering mountains, breathtaking natural bays, thermal springs, and villages frozen in time. Evia’s beaches are indescribable you simply cannot miss Lichadonisia Beach, also known as the “Greek Seychelles,” with its pristine white sand and Caribbean like waters, or Rovies Beach, which looks more like an alpine lake, surrounded by mountains and forests. For total relaxation and self-care, the thermal springs of Edipsos, famous since ancient times, are the perfect solution.

Evia is a complete island that also offers history enthusiasts sites like Eretria with its ancient ruins, as well as traditional villages where culture and tradition remain deeply rooted and proudly preserved. And let’s not forget the local tavernas, where you can savor dishes based on ancient recipes and feel like royalty.

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing vacation, an adventure in nature, or something in between, Evia has something for everyone. Get ready to experience an unparalleled journey.
