Evia is an extremely easy destination to be reached from the city center of Athens, the Eleftherios Venizelos Athens International Airport and the ports of Pireas or Rafina

Often mistaken as part of the mainland because of the connection with two bridges (a modern suspended one and an old sliding one), Evia is the second-largest island in Greece after Crete, actually separated from the mainland by the narrow Strait of Evripos

Evia’s biggest city in area and population is Chalkida with roughly 108.000 people living there. Aidipsos, Istiaia, Limni, Prokopi, Mantoudi and Rovies are the most prominent places in the north part of the island. Eretria, Aliveri, Kymi, Styra, Marmari and Karystos are the most noteworthy spots south of Chalkida. 

Please see below how to reach Evia and the most important places from the Eleftherios Venizelos Athens International Airport (according to Google Maps) as well as several maps with travel time and distances.

Athens Airport – Chalkida: 96 km/ 60 miles (1 hour drive)

Athens Airport – Prokopi: 142 km/ 88 miles (2 hours drive)

Athens Airport – Kymi: 172km/ 106 miles (2,5 hours drive)

Athens Airport – Aliveri: 138km/ 85 miles (1,5 hours drive)

Athens Airport – Aidipsos: 205km/ 127 miles (3 hours drive)

Athens Airport – Kimasi Port (Mantoudi): 155 km/ 96 miles (2,5 hours drive)

Please take into consideration that destinations like Eretria, Styra, Marmari (and Karystos) and Aidipsos are better accessible by ferries that start from Oropos, Agia Marina, Rafina and Arkitsa respectively.

The travel time is far less than driving to the northern or southern part of Evia but the ferries timetables vary due to seasonality, weather conditions, etc.
