Surprising, pristine, lovely Evia!

Walking the Mountains and Villages of Evia’. ✨I found the tour charming and well organized, particularly due to the efforts of our guide, Thanos. The scenery was inspiring, as was the mix of history and nature served up by our fine guide. I knew I was in for something special when Thanos began plucking pomegranates along the path, breaking and sharing them with each traveler. For me our hikes were occasionally challenging, but in a very good way where I felt accomplished at the end of each day. Our hotel had everything we needed; clean, comfortable, well located and with beautiful bay views. The hotel staff and restaurant service were uniformly friendly and helpful, as was transportation timely and safe. I particularly enjoyed meeting and sharing the experiences with the other members of our small group. By day we enjoyed delightful local pastries and sandwiches. During the evenings we were lavished with appetizing meals and wines in the Karystos area. Our guide couldn’t have been more attentive to our individual needs. A vacation both adventurous and relaxing.

Thanos is a knowledgeable, generous and attentive host and guide. Also entertaining, i.e. the chicken chase.

If you get the chance to swim under the Platanistos waterfall, take the opportunity!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Thanos was an incredible guide! Knowledgeable, funny, and seemingly friends with everyone in Karystos, he made us feel like locals. His passion for history brought every story to life, and his love language is definitely food! He went above and beyond, paying attention to the smallest details and making extra efforts to ensure we had the best possible experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone visiting the area!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Pack walking poles and make sure you’re comfortable walking on rocky, uneven terrain, as the trails can be rugged in places. Most importantly, come with a sense of adventure and an open mind. Take every opportunity that presents itself whether it’s a spontaneous swim, a delicious local meal, a chance to meet someone new, or a detour to discover something unexpected. Sometimes the unplanned moments become the most memorable!

Beautiful - mountains, sea and beaches

Beautiful location for a walking holiday, with mountain views, historic sites and quiet beaches. Even time to swim in the sea on several occasionals!

Our guide was amazing, George looked after the group perfectly, sharing local knowledge and helping those that wanted to join in the Easter celebrations.

The hotel and town were the perfect base, great places to eat with a friendly atmosphere.

Would definately recommend this trip!

Do bring sturdy hiking boots, hiking poles can be a great companion, sunscreen and hat are a must.

A wonderful trip

I would recommend this trip to anyone looking for a great hiking experience on a beautiful safe island in Greece. Our tour guide Cécile was exceptional. She was warm, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing not only the rich history of Evia but also insights into modern Greek culture and life. The Galaxy Hotel was the perfect setting for this trip. Thank you to the staff who went out of their way to provide the best service I have experienced in a long time.

Beautiful Island...fantastic holiday

South Evia is such a lovely island, and this hiking holiday shows it off to it’s best advantage. George was a wonderful guide, and went above and beyond what I expected, made everyone feel safe and gave an insight into the area as he grew up around there. Highly recommended this hiking holiday.
