Sightseeing and day trips on Evia
Only a breath away from Lichada on the northern tip of Evia you can find the paradisical isles of Lichadonisia. Travelers visiting Lichadonisia wonder why Europeans looking for exotic and marvelous places want to travel to the remotest parts of earth, while paradise is so close. One of the most pleasant surprises the lucky visitor can marvel at is a cute family of seals, which in the last few years has chosen Lihadonisia as their permanent residence.
The so-called “Greek Seychelles” (15 small volcanic islands with a sandy beach and an outdoor bar) are accessible from Kavos (which also has a fantastic beach) with small boats that depart every half hour during summer months (until September).
