Mountains & Villages Of Evia

8 days - from $1190

Wonderful walking, remote villages, charming coastline and historic gems
Evia is a walker's delight, a real hidden paradise, 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 we end the days swimming and snorkelling at deserted beaches and coves. From Karystos, we enjoy five daywalks on the island, taking in the wonderful scenery, absorbing the history and culture of the island, and enjoying the atmosphere and hospitality of the local towns and villages. A walk down the famous Dimosaris Gorge is perhaps the highlight of the week, ending at the coastal village of Kalliani. Traditional tavernas and waterfront ouzo-meze shops make eating and drinking here a wonderful experience.Exodus also offers a leisurely/moderate 8-day walking holiday, island hopping in the Cyclades (Trip Code: TEJ). It is possible on some dates to combine the two trips to make a fantastic 15-day itinerary.
