Evdilos in Ikaria |
 |
|
Evdilos, built like an amphitheatre, lies on the middle of the island
(but by the sea) about 35 kilometres from Agios
Kirikos and about 12 kilometres from Armenistis. Around
500 people live here year-round, many working in the fishing industry.
If you like fresh fish and seafood, Evdilos is a paradise.

Along the harbour promenade are good taverns and cafes. |

The village was built around 1830 when the raids of the pirates stopped and it was safe to live by the sea again. Evdilos' heyday was when the village had to serve as the island's capital during the last Turkish occupation from 1834 to 1912.

Evdilos is Ikaria's second largest village and second largest port and has approximately 500 inhabitants.

I have heard much negative about Evdilos over the years, for examples that it is an ugly and boring hole that one whatsoever should leave as soon as one have disembarked. I can not agree with it, I think it is a nice village with nice houses and a lively seafront promenade with a great many tavernas and cafes. The nearest beach is Kiparissi beach a few kilometres east of the village. There is also a small beach in the village itself, but only Greeks use it, they can swim anywhere as long as there is water. :-)

The small beach in Evdilos is not much to write home about.
The sunset in Evdilos is very beautiful.

ACCOMMODATION IN EVDILOSAlthough I like Evdilos I would not want to stay here overnight, and this for the simple reason that it is so close to Armenistis from here, and I'd much rather stay there. If you are going with an early ferry, Evdilos is perfect, and then I would choose to stay at Atheras, which looks very nice.
