Evia is distinguished for its natural beauty as it has excellent beaches, rich pine forests, beautiful villages and cities which attract lots of visitors, especially Chalkida – Kimi – Eretria – Edipsos and Agia Anna

Chalkida is an ideal geatway for the weekend. The “city of mad waters”, is rightly considered one of the most beautiful cities in Greece, since is distinguished for its modernization in harmony with tradition and its neoclassical mansions. The Castle district and the pedestrian beach are in the heart of the city, as and many coffee shops and shopping venues.

Kimi is the picturesque town and port of Evia, located on the east side and called “the balcony of the Aegean”, thanks to its stunning views of the sea. With narrow flagstone poved streets and with lush greenery and beautiful beaches, is an ideal destination, giving the opportunity to “pop” with the ferry boat to the neighboring island of Skyros.

Eretria is located in southern Evia and is connected by ferry service from the port of Oropos. It is a small dot on the map but full of beauty, as embraced by the sea and the lush landscape. It is a wonderful resort, which hides beauty and interest that the ordinary visitor could not have imagined.

Edipsos is in the north of Evia and is famous for its spa and is one of the most ancient destinations in the world. Mythology says that the water gushed when Hephaestus the god of fire hit the ground with his hammer, after the goddess Athena asked him to do so as a favor, because she wanted the hot baths for Hercules to remain always healthy and strong.

Agia Anna is a picturesque village in northern Evia, green, with beautiful long beaches and a special getaway for the weekend. Surrounded by the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea, allowing the visitor to enjoy the holidays, eat fresh fish, to calm and relax.
