Evia. An island so close to Athens, alongside mainland Greece, with two bridges and 14 harbours connecting it to Attica, Central Greece, Thessaly and the Sporades Islands. Evia. The largest island of the Aegean Sea:
- with 900 km of coastline washed by the gulfs of Evoikos and Pagasitikos and the Aegean Sea
- with the unique phenomenon of the tidal current in the Evripos Straits in Chalkida
- (the flow of the currents reverses every 6 hours)
- with verdant forests and the fossilised forest of Kerasia
- with lakes-sanctuaries of various migratory birds such as Distos in South Evia and Megalo Livari in North Evia
- with its impressive gorges such as Agali in Central Evia, Agios Dimitros and Dimosari in the South and Boulovinena in the North
- with imposing high mountains - Dirfis, Kandili, Ochi - challenging you to climb them and offering endless possibilities for hiking, winter sports and other outdoor activities
- with numerous ancient, Byzantine or more recent monuments of historical, cultural or religious interest. The Ancient Theatre of Eretria, in its times on a par with that of Epidavros. The ancient and medieval castles and towers. The otherworldly Dragon houses in South Evia. The dozens of monasteries and chapels carrying a history that goes back hundreds of years
- with hundreds of modern hotels, traditional guest houses and agrotourism lodgings
