A hidden Greek gem - wonderful walking, remote villages, charming coastline, delicious food and a wealth of historic interest

Evia is a walker's delight, with old stone paths connecting quaint villages tucked away on the slopes of the mountains. We visit Roman quarries and aqueducts, Byzantine churches and Frankish castles and end the days swimming and snorkelling at deserted beaches and coves. Traditional tavernas and waterfront ouzo-meze shops make eating and drinking here a wonderful experience. A walk down the famous Dimosaris Gorge is perhaps the highlight of the week, ending at the coastal village of Kalliani. Our accommodation for the week is a friendly family-run hotel in the pretty port of Karystos.
