Tour Overview
The Aegean island of Evia remains refreshingly untouched despite being close to Athens. For those who are nostalgic for the Greece of yesteryear, this is the ideal place to visit. Between exploring remote coves, sandy beaches, a spectacular fjord and exclusive private islands, there is always plenty of time for swimming, snorkelling, or sunbathing on deck. We take optional excursions each day into the surrounding countryside, hiking to typical old white-washed villages, as well as visiting the ancient ruins for which Greece is renowned.
