Evdilos, located in the heart of Ikaria in the Aegean Sea, fascinates with its picturesque harbor backdrop and amphitheatrically laid out alleyways. This place, which was once a refuge from pirates, was the capital of the island between 1834 and 1912. Today, Evdilos has around 500 inhabitants and serves as an important ferry port connecting the island with Samos, Fourni and the capital. Despite modern developments, Evdilos has retained its traditional architecture, which is reflected in the elegant old manor houses. The winding cobblestone streets invite you to stroll and lead to cozy taverns, cafés and bars right by the sea. Evdilos is therefore not only a picturesque village, but also an ideal starting point for exploring the north of Ikaria.
