Hello fellow travelers!

I wanted to share some useful tips on the best ferry routes to reach Evia Island, one of Greece’s hidden gems! There are several ferry options to get here, and it’s worth knowing which ones suit your itinerary best:

  1. Agia Marina to Nea Styra:
    • This route from the mainland port Agia Marina to Nea Styra on Evia offers a quick and scenic journey. It’s convenient for those arriving from Athens.
  2. Rafina to Marmari:
    • The Rafina to Marmari ferry route provides another way to reach Evia. It’s a bit longer but allows you to experience more of the sea.
  3. Oropos to Eretria:
    • For a shorter crossing, Oropos to Eretria is a good option that directly connects to the island.
Once you arrive, you'll find the road network is well-maintained, making travel between the island’s stunning beaches, historical sites, and charming villages a breeze. If you're still looking for a comfortable place to stay, I'd recommend Villa Vera, a newly published boutique villa centrally located on the island. It's a perfect base to explore Evia's natural beauty. airbnb.com/h/villa-vera
