General presentation
Evia and Chalkida
Large island close to the continent, between Chalcis Strait, seaside villages, wooded mountains, thermal springs and less well known beaches.
The discovery of Eubée and Chalcis revolves around Chalcis, Erétrie and Limni. The stay thus alternates between island landscapes, the coastline, mountain reliefs and forests, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

For a stay of 3 to 7 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: long distances and sometimes slow relief. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.
