About this trip
Evia sits close to Athens but feels far removed, an island of old stone paths linking small mountain villages that most visitors never see. Over eight days you walk through this quieter side of Greece, with history worked into the landscape at every turn.
The routes take you past Roman quarries, aqueducts and Byzantine churches, so the walking doubles as a slow look at layers of the island's past. Depending on the season, there's time to swim at a quiet beach or a hidden cove along the way.
Evenings are for traditional tavernas and waterfront ouzo-meze spots, the kind of low-key local eating that suits a day spent on your feet.
What you'll do
- Walk old stone paths connecting Evia's mountain villages
- Pass Roman quarries and aqueducts on foot
- Visit Byzantine churches along the route
- Swim at a deserted beach or tucked-away cove
- Eat at traditional tavernas and waterfront ouzo-meze shops
- Rated moderate — expect regular walking days across varied terrain
- Fully guided throughout, travelling as a small group
Worth it if you're moderately fit, love Greek history, and want authentic food with knowledgeable guides. Think twice if you struggle with uneven terrain or need a slower pace.
- Guides (especially Thanos) are genuinely expert on Ancient Greek and Evian history, enriching every walk substantially.
- Hotel Galaxy is seafront, family-run, and excellent; eating at different tavernas nightly with guide explanations beats tourist menus.
- Large mixed-ability groups (18 people) create long, cold waiting periods for faster walkers when someone can't keep pace.
- Terrain includes goat tracks and steep ups and downs; wear long trousers to avoid scratches, bring walking poles.
