Efi’s House and Evia Beaches
We wandered around the back roads of Evia taking in all the beauty of the landscape and the beaches before we went to our accommodation - Efi's house! Easy access to the parking area and covered parking made this a great place to leave our car.Efi met us with the keys and took us to… Continue reading Efi’s House and Evia Beaches
Vriniotis Winery – Evia
Our wine server, Olga, made our day! She was smart, polite, Covid- conscious and gave us a fabulous wine tasting. This vineyard is one of the premier wineries on the island of Evia (very possibly Greece). Located high on the top of a fabulous hill it boasts views to be remembered! But, the view is… Continue reading Vriniotis Winery – Evia
Glyfa to Evia Ferry – Jellyfish, Beaches, and Wineries
A very nice drive to Glyfa to catch the ferry to Evia brought us through some beautiful mountains and scenery. We loved the drive! Glyfa Drive down the main street and turn right and you will see a kiosk selling tickets for the ferry. You can buy a one-way or a return ticket.

Small Greek Villages
The Greek villages are as old as time itself, and the countryside is so awesome but the people are the real gems! Driving through a small Greek village is like being inside a sandwich where the buildings are at the road on each side of you and the road is just barely wide enough to… Continue reading Small Greek Villages
Driving Greece – Backroads and beaches
We love driving Greece! The roads are good and the backroads are exciting…the goat paths…not so much. But we rely on the "Google Lady" to get us to and through most places we drive. She has been especially helpful, and also, especially problematic in Greece as she continues to tell us to turn left off… Continue reading Driving Greece – Backroads and beaches
Psarotaverna (Fish Taverna) Aristea
We love frequenting fish tavernas! Mainly because they have fantastic fish! But the salads, the metzedies, the kebabs, and the souvlaki are also pretty darn delicious! We found the Aristea while driving along the beautiful seaside roads of Evia and had to go back for dinner that night (oh ok and the night after too!).… Continue reading Psarotaverna (Fish Taverna) Aristea
