WE SAIL for Evia, Greece's second biggest island (oh, you can also get there by car)

It's a little rough around the edges, but the mountains and beaches are breathtaking

How do you get to Evia, Greece’s largest island after Crete? Let us count the ways, starting with a short ferry run between Oropos in Attica, and Eretria. No, not Eritrea, the country in East Africa. Eretria, the seaside town in Evia.

The ferry is geared toward travelers with cars, and traverses the sparkling blue North Euboean Gulf. Photo: Anthony Grant

Mykonos? No, it’s the coast south of Karystos, Evia. Photo: Anthony Grant
