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!

Blown Away By Evia

Excellent holiday only slightly affected by the Force 9 gales that blew for 5 days of our holiday . Karystos a lovely place , family run hotel clean and welcoming , guide Thanos brilliant in the face of having to rearrange whole of the walking itinerary !

Most Inspirational Moment

The ravine walk and the gorge walk - beautiful.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent

Advice for Potential Travellers

The whole trip is really good . We added on 2 days at the beginning to visit Athens - that worked very well .

Amazing Trip!

Everything was spectacular – from hiking in the mountains and learning about the history of Evia to swimming in the Aegean Sea and basking in the warm sun. The numerous Tavena’s and restaurants added to the experience, making it both adventurous and relaxing.

Most Inspirational Moment

Visiting a Bee keeper, which brought a different element to the trip. Fascinating and inspiring!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our guide George, went above and beyond in every way. As a local from the area, he brought a passionate and authentic touch to the journey.

Advice for Potential Travellers

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.

Most Inspirational Moment

All of it, especially the beaches we visited.

Thoughts on Group Leader

As above ...fantastic

Advice for Potential Travellers

Good hiking boots, and in at least one hike, a head for heights

Evia

Like most Exodus guides, Thano was excellent. However he went beyond expectations, his local knowledge was extensive (he seemed to know everyone on the island). Always approachable. The packed lunches were varied (and filling). He ordered the starters at every meal which meant that we sampled lots of local delicacies that we would otherwise have missed. Lots of little things (sampling the ouzo, beekeeper visit and so on) added to the overall enjoyment. The guided tour of Athens on the final day was a bonus. On a personal note, he spoke to a doctor on my behalf as I was suffering from an injured shoulder.

Thoughts on Group Leader

He made the holiday.

Fitting. Could also perhaps mention coastline in title

Wonderful holiday on a wonderful island. Returned home feeling very relaxed. Evia was very unspoilt. A real experience of Greek culture, food and hospitality. Hotel was very comfortable and in a perfect location for the beach and town. Hotel staff were lovely, breakfast excellent for a small hotel. I thoroughly enjoyed every day. Walking was varied, interesting routes and stunning scenery, we barely saw anyone else on the walks. Packed lunches were superb. Having private mini bus for the group made it easy for travel. Everyone on group was like-minded. Excellent guide Thano. Thank you!

Most Inspirational Moment

I particularly enjoyed the gorge walk and also the walk on final day to the quarry.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Thano was an outstanding guide. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He was passionate, expert as well as thoughtful and kind - definitely one of the best Exodus group leaders I have met. Throughout the week he went above and beyond to give us a real insight into Evia and Greek culture and history to make the trip extremely memorable. We were treated to local snacks and dishes which felt a real treat. He even gave us an impromptu walking tour of Athens on the last day. He made this trip very special.

Mountains and Villages of Evia

A lovely trip led by a very hardworking and knowledgeable guide staying in a welcoming hotel on the waterfront. The walking was graded correctly in my opinion and we saw some fantastic scenery and remarkable ancient relics. The food was wonderful and Karystos is a super little town with plenty of fine restaurants and bars.

Karystos is best.

Lovely island and not over developed.

Most Inspirational Moment

The beach at Potami.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Thanos is an excellent leader. Keen, enthusiastic and a sense of humour.

Evia

Overall great trip. Really beautiful island, miles of gorgeous coastline, great food, comfy hotel and all round excellent week.

Most Inspirational Moment

The gorge walk on the last day - just really beautiful and a lovely walk.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent. Thoroughly kind and considerate and couldn't do enough for us. Obviously knew the area really well in terms of geography and history, and his enthusiasm was catching.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Although the walking wasn't excessively challenging, the heat did add to the effort. Definitely take a hat, and consider flexible walking footwear e.g. gortex boots as feet will swell in the heat and leather is less forgiving. Take long walking trousers as some of the walks are through very thorny pathways.
