Key Information
Day 1
From Athens to Evia

Arrive in Athens and meet your host at the airport for a group transfer to Agia Marina, a small port near Athens and the town of Marathon. Catch the ferry here for a short ride across the Petalioi Gulf to reach Evia Island, docking at Nea Styra. Then drive a short way down the coast to reach your base in Marmari. Settle in before heading out for a welcome dinner at a nearby taverna for your first of many Greek feasts and a chat about the adventure to come with your guides.
Day 2
Yoga, hikes and open water swims

Hiking
Yoga
Driving
Enjoy your first restorative morning at your base, with expansive Aegean views greeting you before your first yoga session of the trip. Your instructor will guide you through each class tailored to complement the week of hiking ahead, with a mix of Hatha and restorative yoga sessions at various points this week. After breakfast, you'll head off for a warm-up hike in the Manikia area – an up-and-coming climbing destination with amazing rock formations. Your guide will lead the group on a hike through the evolving scenery here to reach the waterfalls of the Manikiatis River. Enjoy a picnic lunch and some downtime at this idyllic spot where you can swim in the natural pools. Wrap up the final miles of an easy-going hike with a visit to an award-winning beekeeping farm, where you’ll discover how fresh organic honey is made. Back at the base this afternoon, you'll wind down with another yoga class before settling in for an evening meal at a nearby taverna.
Day 3
Hike to the peak of Mount Ochi

Hiking
Yoga
Start your day with a morning yoga session, using stretching and breathing exercises to rejuvenate your body and mind before taking on a bigger hike. Mount Ochi is one of the highest points on Evia and is known as 'the mountain of springs' due to the natural water sources that flow from the mountains throughout the year. You'll set off on a hike through the green and rugged mountainous landscape to reach the summit of Mount Ochi just shy of 4,595 ft above sea level. On the summit of the mountain, you will have the opportunity to explore the best-preserved 'Drakospita' or Dragon Houses of Evia. Drakospita are dwellings built by Ancient Greeks at the top of the mountain, using huge pieces of rock from the area and blessed with 360-degree views over the valley towards the distant blue of the Aegean. Hike back to the trailhead and return to base for some downtime. Join a yoga session to stretch out the limbs after the 4–5 hours of hiking, then unwind with sundowners and dinner at the base tonight.
Day 4
Dimosaris Gorge

Hiking
Yoga
Wild Swimming
Driving
Gently ease into the day with your morning yoga class overlooking the Aegean, perhaps take a dip in the pool before another sumptuous breakfast at your base before setting off to the area around Dimosaris Gorge on the eastern slopes of Mount Ochi. An incredible trail awaits, winding alongside the river beneath towering peaks. This moderately challenging hike leads you through an evolving landscape to waterfalls and natural pools, perfect for open water swims. This whole area feels really alive, with lush green ferns and wildflowers blanketing the terrain, and the sound of running water ever present as you reach the falls and pools. Settle in with your yoga instructor later in the afternoon before heading to a seaside taverna nearby – if you're not done with swimming yet today you can bring your swimsuit for a dip in the sea before or after dinner.
Day 5
A gorge hike to reach a secluded Evia beach

Hiking
Yoga
Wild Swimming
Driving
Head north from your base to the trailhead in the village of Agios Dimitrios. Today’s hike explores one of southern Evia’s most beautiful areas, the Agios Dimitrios Gorge, known for its rich wildflowers, trees, and ever-changing views as you head toward the coast. Your efforts are rewarded as the trail reaches a remote beach only accessible by hiking or a dirt road, with no restaurants or accommodation around. Turquoise waters invite you for a dreamy swim in the Aegean as you soak up this secluded spot with a picnic on the beach and some downtime with less hiking to get through today. Enjoy this memorable spot before heading back to base for a final restorative yoga session. Wrap up the evening with your fellow adventurers, enjoying more delicious Greek and Mediterranean dishes, and perhaps a glass or two of organic wine to toast a perfect day.
Day 6
Farewell Evia

Your time on beautiful Evia Island ends today. Enjoy a final breakfast with stunning views before your host takes you to the port for the ferry back to the mainland. From there, continue to Athens, where your host will drop you at the airport for onward flights or in downtown Athens if you’re staying longer.

Transfers
Your host will operate a group transfer from Athens International Airport at 1:00 PM on Day 1, driving the group to Agia Marina, a small port about 45 minutes outside of Athens near Marathon. From here you'll hop on a ferry with your host to reach Evia. If you are already in Athens, you can either head to the airport to meet the group transfer at 1:00 PM, or your host can pick you up from Chalandri metro station on the Blue Line. The exact times for this pickup will be confirmed by the host for each departure depending on requests. You can also meet the group at Agia Marina if you prefer - public transport to reach the port will be tricky to navigate, so a taxi would be the best option here which will cost €40-50 from downtown Athens.
On Day 6 your host will drop you back at Athens Airport around 4:00 PM in time for any flights from 6:00 PM onwards. You can also be dropped off at Chalandri Metro Station where you can take the Blue Line to other parts of Athens if you are staying longer in Greece.

Athens International Airport is a major international hub, with daily direct flights from airports across the UK, Europe and the East Coast of North America.

What is the food like?

All of your meals are included on this trip, allowing you to fully relax knowing everything is taken care of. Food is an absolute highlight on any trip to Greece. Sitting in a taverna overlooking the Aegean Sea after a day of exploring with a cold bottle of Mythos, a Greek salad, fresh bread and tzatziki, grilled fish and gemista... life doesn't get much better. Breakfasts will be provided at your hotel base using local, seasonal products with hot and cold options, sweets, fresh juices and coffees. Your host will prepare a picnic lunch each day while you are out and about exploring Evia including meats, cheeses, olives, fruits and snacks. Evening meals will be spent at different tavernas, allowing you to sample a wide range of classic Greek dishes with something for everyone. One of your dinners will be taken at the hotel.
Vegetarians, vegans and other dietary requirements and allergies can be catered for – please just request this on your passenger info form.
What is the accommodation like?

Celini Suites Hotel
Your base on this trip is a special one in an unbeatable location. Celini Suites Hotel nestled on the southern tip of Evia welcomes you for a peaceful and restorative stay with incredible views over the neighboring archipelago of Petalioi. The hotel is quiet and quaint with relaxing decor of natural woods and light rooms, plus a beautiful pool nestled by a giant olive tree with plentiful areas to relax after your hiking days. The yoga sessions are taken on the grounds overlooking the Aegean Sea, or if the weather isn't cooperating there's an indoor location where the classes will take place. You'll stay in twin-share rooms with ensuite bathrooms – unless you request a double room if traveling as a couple or book a private room upgrade if traveling solo.
Upgrades
For solo travellers looking for their own space, a private room can be booked for an extra charge, see Optional Extras for the price. Please request this at the time of booking – single rooms are limited and subject to availability.
This trip has been rated as Moderate
Anyone with an average fitness level who can hike for several hours continuously – sometimes on uneven terrain – will be fine on this trip. The elevation gain on Days 3 and 4 is fairly sizable, up to 2,950 ft up and down each day, which will get the heart pumping at times to reach the higher points of the island. However, the going is steady and the views more than make up for the effort. There will be two yoga sessions each day, bookending the days out hiking. The yoga sessions are easily manageable and tailored to suit the individual needs within the group. You can simply wait out any of the more difficult postures if necessary, or do an alternative posture as advised by your instructor. The yoga sessions are designed to help you recover from the long hikes as well as to relax and unwind, with a focus on the meditative side of yoga in this tranquil part of Greece.
What if i need to skip an activity?
You are welcome to skip any yoga session or any hike on this trip. You have a single base throughout, so you can simply relax at the beautiful hotel if you're not feeling up to it on any given day.
What will I need to carry?
You'll just need a small day pack of 15-25 liters to carry personal items and water on your day hikes. Your main luggage can stay at the base for the entire trip.
Evia Island enjoys a classic Mediterranean climate. The spring months of April and May have pleasant temperatures with increasing warmth and longer daylight hours. During these months expect average lows around 61°F and highs up to 73°F and around 10-11 hours of sunshine per day. Sea temperature is around 63°F in April, warming to 66°F in May.
The late summer and early fall months of September and October are also excellent times to visit Evia for great weather and lower visitor numbers. September has average lows of around 68°F and highs up to 86°F, with things cooling off in October with lows of 61°F and highs up to 68°F. Sea temperatures are beautiful for swimming at 75°F in September and 72°F in October.
A wonderful Trip
I can honestly say this is one of the most rejuvenating trips I have been on. Everything was thoughtfully organised from start to finish. Kostas was an amazing guide who was deeply passionate about his surroundings and every hike felt like a journey of connection with nature. As a vegetarian, every meal was fresh, flavourful and with plant based options that never felt like an afterthought. The packed lunches were especially good. The yoga sessions were beautifully led and even though I was a beginner, Daiana created a space that was inclusive and calming. This trip left me feeling completely recharged in beautiful surroundings
Amazing Adventure
I’ve had the most amazing time on this trip. This was my fifth Much Better Adventures trip and my first ever solo adventure, I feel so lucky that I got to spend it with such an awesome group of people.
Kostas was an incredible guide, full of interesting stories and Greek history. Daiana’s yoga sessions were fantastic, the perfect way to start and end each day. We swam in the sea and in beautiful natural pools, hiked through stunning landscapes, and visited a honey farm.
The hotel was great with spacious rooms and an idyllic location. The food provided throughout the trip was delicious and everyone’s dietary requirements were catered for.
Be prepared for full, adventure-packed days with not much downtime (in the best possible way). Some of my highlights were waking up to the sound of goat bells, swimming in the natural pools, and hiking to a secluded beach.
This trip was everything I hoped for and more. Everyone was so kind and supportive, I absolutely loved every part of it and I’m going home full thanks to you all.

An amazing experience in so
An amazing experience in so many ways. We got to see what felt like a secret side of Greece. The hikes were amazing, the yoga was wonderful, the accommodation was perfect and the food was fabulous. Special thanks to Dimitri and Daiana, who did a magnificent job of guiding 13 women around Evia, making sure we had a truly wonderful experience. We came away on such a high, new friends, a deeper understanding of Greece and of course the honey! We needed everything on the kit list, except the earplugs, still not sure what they are for. Maybe if you don’t like the sound of goat bells? Personally I thought they sounded magical. There isn’t much down time on this trip, so don’t expect to be phoning home or answering your emails, but I think that was one of the great things about it, an escape from daily life. Highly recommend to anyone travelling alone or in my case I took my mum, in her 70s and she loved it too.
Fantastic holiday, with friendly and
Fantastic holiday, with friendly and knowledgeable guides. Walks and yoga were memorable. The food was delicious and although the accommodation was idyllic there was a mismatch between beds so that do only one person sharing had a comfortable bed, the other had a futon. Not quite what I expected hence the 4 star review.
What a blissful holiday! A
What a blissful holiday! A beautiful island, welcoming hideaway hotel with stunning views, delicious local food and wine. Feta pie, honey, hummus, scrumptious small pears, salads and always olive oil. The hikes, yoga and swimming were superb and varied. We had many of the locations to ourselves, making it feel even more special. The local people were so friendly and hospitable, one lady even insisting on cutting bunches of grapes for us as we walked past her home. The whole trip was very well-organised and led by friendly, knowledgeable guides Dimitris and Daiana. A shout-out also goes to such a kind and interesting group of fellow travellers. We had so much fun! Particular highlights included getting up close to ancient marble columns in the quarry where they lay abandoned, swimming in natural pools and waking up to goat bells - so relaxing.
Fabulous
Another great trip with MBA ( it was my 4th). Expert guiding from Dimitri and Daina, we were really looked after on a brilliant variety of hikes. The yoga sessions were v inclusive and I especially enjoyed the last one on the beach. The hotel and it's staff were a delight, I'm only sorry we didn't spend a bit more time there with our packed itinerary, but on the plus side I went on the trip expecting to skip one of the hikes and maybe some yoga, but they were so good and the group so fun to be with that I spent less time at the hotel than anticipated! Food excellent throughout, loved eating at local tavernas and at the hotel. A taste of the best of Greece. For folks worried about joining an MBA trip as a solo, make the leap, you won't regret it- I've done solo and with friends and loved all of them.





A wonderful trip to Evia
Fantastic trip combining hiking and yoga with amazing guides. We discovered great places and had delicious food at the hotel and in local tavernas. Great fun with the group all along the trip !
Excellent guides
This was my first time going on a MBA trip, I was very impressed. The guides were truly brilliant, very friendly, patient and attentive. The hiking/ yoga mix was lovely. Each hike was different and we saw lovely parts of the island! Food in particular stood out. Special mention to Mike and Kostos for preparing lunches, they were delicious. The hotel was also beautifully located with amazing views
Hiking & Yoga on Evia Island
I really enjoyed this active holiday.
The hiking and yoga were wonderful. The visit to the bee maker Kostos was fun and interesting.
We were with a lovely group of people and Michalis, Konstantinos and Diana were super guides.
The food was yum. The lunch food was the absolute best!
Evia island hiking and yoga trip
This was my first adventure trip and it certainly was! Our guides were so knowledgeable and helpful and organised everything so well. The hikes were spectacular, the other people I the trip were so friendly and we had great fun and laughs together. Yoga w wry day kept our bodies supple ready for the following day.









Yoga convert’s report
Another well organised trip - my 4th with MBA. A friendly group of like-minded people, excellently guided by Mike and Kostas who accurately assessed our group’s (mixed) abilities and safely escorted us to the top of Mt Ochi in atrocious conditions. Both of them full of local, historical and environmental knowledge and how we enjoyed Kostas’ quizzes as we drove along 🤣. (If you want to earn brownie points, swat up on your Greek gods before the trip). I have never met such helpful, joyous hotel staff and the food was plentiful (although I had had my fill of cheese pie by the end). I can recommend the hotel’s rose wine too. Stunning views, spectacular scenery, glorious sea swims and yoga that was charmingly and knowledgeably led by the beautiful, serene Daiana. I have not enjoyed yoga before but am now a convert. You won’t regret this trip but be aware that the hotel is some distance above the town so it is not possible to stroll out for ice-cream or to a bar. And TAKE WARM LAYERS AND WATERPROOFS - conditions on the top of Mt Ochi easily rivalled Ben Nevis where I had been the previous week, but it has not put me off Greek mountains - I’m signing up for Mt Olympus next 🙂






Unspoilt, beautiful Evia
A lovely time in a beautiful place. The hotel was just perfect; peaceful with amazing views, clean and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Our guides were local and very experienced which meant they were knowledgeable about the walks, the area and of Greece and were also good fun. The gorge walks were in beautiful, unspoilt areas. Take waterproofs for Mount Ochi day in case the clouds are down and or the weather is bad. Yoga was good and based on our group abilities - we did it in the beach one day, which was lovely. A lovely group of people to spend our holiday with.




Authentic greece

Brilliant Adventure
Great trip, lovely hosts who couldn’t do more to make sure we were comfortable, the yoga sessions were very good and the food provided by the hosts was delicious.

Excellent guided hiking trip
Despite rainstorms and more chilly weather than was strictly desirable this fantastic trip was something to remember forever. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable and took good care of the group throughout. Together we conquered mountains and enjoyed beautiful hikes and swims. The yoga was incredibly restorative and the food in local tavernas was superb. Special mention for the packed lunches which were always healthy and delicious. All round a really great trip.

Tips
Tips are not included in the trip cost. These are entirely at your discretion but there is an expectation to tip for good service. Your guide will help with advice, however we suggest the below as a guideline per person for your main guides:
€5 per day
Of course, you are free to tip more or less, and the amount should be reflective of your perception of service and quality – a tip is not compulsory and should only be given when you receive excellent service. Tipping the yoga instructor is totally optional, but not expected.
Personal expenses
You know your own spending habits best, so please budget an appropriate amount for things like optional food and drinks, shopping and laundry.
Travel insurance
Travel insurance is compulsory for all of our adventures, and you'll need to provide your policy details before departure. Your insurance should offer adequate cover for overseas medical treatment, evacuation/repatriation, your baggage and equipment, and the specific activities involved in your adventure. We also recommend ensuring your policy includes cancellation and curtailment cover, in case you're unable to join your trip due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness.
Standard travel insurance may not cover all the activities included in your adventure, so it's essential to check the details carefully. There are adventure-specific providers that many travelers have used in the past, such as True Traveller (for those based in the UK or Europe), or Rise + Shield, both of which offer cover for a wide range of adventurous activities.
Please make sure your chosen policy meets your individual needs and covers all aspects of your trip.

We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre program, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity.
What's the number?
It works out on average at 139kg of CO2 emissions per person, including all local transport, accommodation, food, activities, guides, staff and office operations.
The only thing it doesn’t include right now is flights and travel to the destination. We do make an overall estimate across all our customers separately, but as we don’t book flights, have customers from all corners of the world, and no way of reliably knowing their travel plans, we simply can’t include an individual number in the figure on display here. We’ve got a goal to fix that, so that when you book, there is a way to measure and mitigate the carbon emitted by your flight too.
But what does the number mean?
Yep, hard to picture eh? To give you an idea:
- Driving 1000 miles/1609km would be approximately 281kg of CO2 in an average car (or 140.5kg per person, if there were two of you in it).
- A return economy class flight between London and New York would be approximately 1619kg (1.66 tonnes) per person.
- 10 trees in a temperate forest are estimated to remove approximately 250kg of CO2 from the air in a period of 5-10 years.
What are we doing about it?
Our trips are relatively low-carbon by design, and we're working with all our hosts to develop long term carbon reduction plans. We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity, ensuring the protection of the reserve and its wildlife.
Want to know more?
Amazingly, no international travel company has ever publicly published their carbon measurements before, as far as we know. We believe that must change, quickly. So we’re openly sharing the method we used in the hope that other companies will be able to more easily follow suit and build on what we've done so far. You'll find it all here.
Absolutely not! This is far from a standard yoga retreat. Don't expect to follow a rigid and strict activity schedule or a restrictive detoxing diet. This adventure was designed for people who practice and love yoga, or who are just curious about it and want to experience the amazing benefits it brings for the first time. But it’s also fun, with plenty of opportunities to explore the surrounding nature trails on foot, and enjoy delicious food and wine, all in the company of like-minded people. Relaxing and not taking yourself too seriously is kind of mandatory here!
The sessions will be based around Ashtanga – a dynamic form of yoga characterised by a fixed sequence of postures which are performed in a specific order, with a focus on breath coordination and movement. Your experienced instructor will guide you through the sessions and combine the yoga with guided meditations to complement the body and mind elements of the practice. Ideal for relaxing after a hike, and to recover the body and energy for the next day.
Your host has been operating trips on Evia Island for many years, so if conditions aren't suitable for any of the day hikes you'll head to an alternative part of the island for a replacement hike. We don't run this trip during the peak summer months of July and August when Evia can get uncomfortably hot, indeed there have been wildfires on Evia during these months in the recent past. As such extreme heat shouldn't be a factor, however, unexpected heatwaves can occur and your host will factor this into any Plan B considerations.
The tap water on Evia Island is safe to drink, so you can freely fill up at your hotel base throughout the trip. Make sure to bring along a water bottle with 1-2 liters of carrying capacity to ensure you have water in your daypack for each of the hikes.
There will be one lead hiking guide and expert yoga instructors for each of the yoga sessions.
This trip has a single base throughout, so you can leave your luggage in your room the whole time and take a daypack out on each day hike.
This trip operates in areas where daytime temperatures can reach extreme levels, with limited shade and, at times, high humidity adding to the challenge. These conditions can affect physical performance and increase the risk of dehydration or heat-related illness. Your guide will adjust the pace and monitor the group closely, but staying well hydrated, wearing suitable clothing, and using sun protection is essential.
Before traveling, consider your ability to remain active in high temperatures and consult a medical professional if you have any concerns, especially if you have cardiovascular or heat-sensitive conditions. Arriving a day or two before the trip may help you adjust gradually to the heat.
Sure can! Over 70% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.
Our team of Adventure Hunters co-create exclusive adventures which are run by highly vetted, specialist hosts. The trip is run by our trusted host partner in the destination. We only work with independent, local, in-destination experts who know the very best places to explore and how to stay safe. Read more information about the local teams we partner with. You’ll be introduced to the host straight after making a booking via the Much Better Adventures platform.
Much Better Adventures refer to the UK Government’s official travel advice when designing trips and monitoring trip operations. We recommend that all customers review the practical information available on the UK Government’s FCDO website, where you can find up-to-date advice by searching for your destination(s).
If you are based in the United States, you can also check the latest travel advisories from the U.S. Department of State.
For customers joining from other international locations, we recommend checking the official travel advice issued by your country of residence, as guidance may vary.
We recommend checking out the country-specific information and also talking to a travel nurse.
We automatically convert prices from the local currency that a host receives to your chosen currency. We update our exchange rates daily, so prices displayed on the site are subject to currency fluctuations, which is why you may see them change over time.

All of our group adventures are specially designed for adults to enjoy as we want these adventures to bring together outdoorsy people who are truly like-minded. You must be over 18 to join one of our trips.
You're always in good company on one of our adventures.
Our trips typically consist of a mix of solo travelers and small groups of 2 or 3 friends, with most in their 30s-50s.
Our sociable adventures are solo-friendly by design and naturally attract outdoorsy people with a shared mindset; a love for adventure, a desire to push themselves, and meet awesome, like-minded people along the way.
It’s this camaraderie that has so often turned a great adventure into a life-changing one.

Kostas was an incredible guide, full of interesting stories and Greek history. Daiana’s yoga sessions were fantastic, the perfect way to start and end each day.
