Evia The Unknown Greek Island delicious food and a wealth of historical interest.
Evia is a walker's delight, with old stone paths and tracks connecting quaint villages tucked away on the slopes of the mountains. Roman quarries and aqueducts, Byzantine churches and Frankish castles all lie below the majestic Mount Ochi (1398m). Olive and fruit groves, vineyards and cypress trees and an abundance of herbs scent the air. Streams make their way through verdant ravines to deserted beaches and coves - ideal spots to end the day swimming and snorkelling. Seven villages lie on the slopes of the Mount Ochi - our walks will take us from one village to another through lush valleys with streams, orchids, old stone bridges, watermills and fountains. A half-day walk down the famous Dimosaris Gorge is perhaps the highlight of the week. The gorge ends at the village of Kalliani where we can relax and swim at a secluded beach. All walks are between 3 and 5 hours and are generally easy to moderate. The capital Karystos lies on the shores of a broad, sandy bay on the southern tip of Evia overlooking the Aegean Sea and the Cycladic Islands - traditional tavernas and waterfront ouzo-meze shops make eating and drinking here a wonderful experience.

WHAT THE PRICE INCLUDES
In all the items below, “included” means either in the price or in a specified “local payment”.

Flights
The prices include flights from a UK airport to the destination airport and back, UK departure tax, all necessary domestic flights on the trip itinerary and all airport transfers. If you do not need our group flights, please ask for the “land only” prices. If you book at the “land only” price, international flights and related airport transfers are not included, but domestic flights generally are, except where tickets for these have to be issued in conjunction with your international ticket.

Accommodation
This is included in the price. If you’re camping, we provide sturdy two-person tents and all necessary communal camping and cooking gear, so you will just need to bring a sleeping bag and, on most trips, a sleeping mat.

Single rooms or tents
Our prices are based on twin share accommodation. If you book your own (many people do), we arrange for you to share with a person of the same sex. We do not charge a single supplement except on extensions. Where it is operationally possible to do so, we offer an optional single supplement in the price list. On some trips it is not possible to do so, we offer an optional single supplement in the price list. On some trips it is not possible to guarantee single accommodation for the whole tour; where this is the case further information and prices can be found in the Trip Notes. If you would like a single room or tent on a particular holiday you should contact the office for details. Where we are unable to guarantee single accommodation you may be able to arrange and pay for it locally. If you are a smoker we ask you not to smoke in your room or tent if sharing. Please note on certain trips single accommodation is not available due to local operational conditions.

Food
Meal plans vary according to area and circumstances: for every trip, details of what is included are shown in the Food section of each trip, and in the Trip Notes.

Transport
All necessary transport during the trip is included, whether private or public.

Sightseeing
Included wherever it is part of the itinerary (as stated in the Trip Notes). There are usually optional trips too.

Staff
On all trips we provide a leader or local representative, assisted by local guides, drivers and any other staff as appropriate. Leaders usually meet the group locally.

Permits, taxes, and entrance fees
We include in the cost of the holiday or in the stated local payment all necessary local permits, taxes, and entrance fees to National Parks or sites that are part of the itinerary, except for the Kilimajaro Government Tax, Mustang and Galapagos taxes.

NOT INCLUDED
Any meals and other food not included in the meal plan, visas, vaccinations, travel insurance, foreign airport taxes where not included in the price of the ticket, sleeping bags and other personal equipment, sleeping mats on most camping trips, entrance to historical sites if not specified in the Trip Notes, extra optional excursions and any personal expenditure such as laundry, drinks and tips.
