Euboea, also known as Evia, is the second largest Greek island after Crete, lying just off the country’s central eastern coast. Boasting phenomenal powdery beaches lapped by azure waters, a massive wealth of centuries-old sites, and a unique and rich cultural diversity, the island provides an idyllic and interesting holiday destination. Euboea is home to some truly wonderful natural scenery, with a coastline of gorgeous sparkling Aegean coves and an interior of lush forests, mountains and rivers. Edipsos, in the north, is the most renowned spa town in Greece with its lovely curative natural hot springs and range of healing centres. The range of heritage attractions includes numerous incredible museums, fascinating megalithic ruins, and ancient sacred sites. With a history of Greek, Turkish and Albanian occupation, the island’s villages have a complex heritage and interesting local dialects.
