Tour overview<br />
Evia is Greece's second largest island<br />
after Crete, but remains largely off<br />
the tourist map – despite being just a<br />
stone's throw from Athens. It is home<br />
to uncrowded beaches, historic towns<br />
and charming wineries. This new<br />
centre-based tour reveals the best of<br />
the unspoilt island, as well as giving you<br />
a day to explore Athens and its ancient<br />
wonders. Throughout your journey,<br />
enjoy unique experiences, such as a<br />
Greek coffee masterclass. The tour also<br />
features ample downtime to spend in<br />
luxury at your five-star beachfront hotel.<br />
