The beautiful island of Evia is a remarkably accessible destination from the city centre of Athens, Athens International Airport and the ports of Piraeus or Rafina.

Frequently misperceived as part of the mainland due to its connection by two bridges (a modern suspended one and an old sliding one), Evia is the second - largest island in Greece after Crete. It is, in fact, separated from the mainland by the narrow Strait of Evripos.

The city is less than a 90 - minute drive from Villa Apostoloi and is well worth a visit with its lively waterfront, lined with buzzing tavernas serving fresh, delicious seafood.

The magnificent Temple of Poseidon is a further half an hour away at Cape Sounio, originally built to guide sailors safely home, today, the towering columns look simply spectacular against a Greek sunset backdrop.
