Evoia

It is the second largest island after Crete and one of the most beautiful Greek islands. Its charms are many spread all over the island, presenting a picture which is especially appreciated by all its visitors. Together with the island of Skyros, the islands of the Gulf of Evia, a part of the mainland and some small islands, it constitutes the county of Evia. Mountains and sea alternate and fashion landscapes of unique beauty that leave nothing to be desired.

It is covered by a rich vegetation both on the mountains and in the valleys, while its beaches are the undisputed "diamonds" of the whole county. The exceptionally clean seas of Evia and its crystal-clear waters invite you to explore them and to admire the unlimited beauties they hide. Adding to all the above its excellent tourist infrastructure and the unrivalled hospitality which it offers, surely make for an unbeatable place, which is ready to render your vacation unforgettable.

The island's capital is Chalkis. It lies about in the middle of Evia, so that both the southern and the northern parts of the island are easily accessible. In the picturesque port of Eretria you will be able to enjoy very fresh fish and any other "mezedes" you desire, as it offeres many tavernas ready to serve you.

Amarinthos is considered one of the most cosmopolitan towns, as it possesses not only natural beauty but also all comforts, from traditional small taverns with home-made tidbits to cafe-bars right on the edge of the waves, where you can enjoy your drink under the moonlight.
