Evia is 180 km. long and its width varies from 7 to 50 km. Halfway over the island lies the main town of Chalkida where there is a bridge connection with the mainland. This makes it possible to reach Artemisio following a scenic route over the island.

Evia is a rural island with many small villages and has not been discovered by mass tourism.
The landscape is varied. The northern part is mountainous, the highest point being 1743 meters. The landscape is largely forested with rivers and waterfalls. In winter there is snow on the mountains.
On the coast there are both pebble and sandy beaches. Numerous bays and small fishing ports adorn the coast. In the hinterland you will find monasteries, churches and chapels.
