I decided to spend a holiday on the island of Evia after thinking and changing my mind a thousand times. Greece’s second largest island (after Crete), Evia is quite popular with the Romanians, who visit it more and more often, but it doesn’t get the publicity of Cyclades, and other archipelago sisters do. It runs parallel to the east coast of the country, from just off the Pelion peninsula to the south, towards Attica, in a sort of perfect geographical concealment. I eventually chose Evia because I had read interesting things about it and because I wanted a holiday by car somewhere different from the classics Thassos or Halkidiki. Besides, I had heard that the prices in Evia were very good, which was to be confirmed. What’s more, it seems that after the pandemic, the price level has somehow remained the same, which will undoubtedly increase the demand for Evia holidays.
It resulted in a nice week, in which I tried to discover as much as possible of what this island has to offer, to see the main sights of Evia, the beaches of Evia, and the reasons why Greeks so love this place.
