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.
Evia
Evia Holidays
One of the largest of the Greek Islands, Evia is also one of the least known. Surrounded by cyan seas, beaches and coves, and with a mountainous interior of rivers, streams and forests, scattered with ancient monuments, all linked by old stone pathways, it’s a walker’s paradise.
Explore Roman quarries and aqueducts, Byzantine churches and Frankish castles, and spend days swimming and snorkelling at deserted beaches and coves. A walk down the famous Dimosaris gorge, ending at the coastal village of Kalliani, is a highlight of Evia trips. Stay in the pretty port of Karystos and each night eat in a different taverna, where succulent octopus, sizzling grilled cheeses, locally produced wines and golden-hewed honey are all on the menu…

Louise Jones Mountains & Villages of EviaSouth 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.
Graham Ritchie Mountains & Villages of EviaLike 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.
