Mantoudi - Limni - Aghia Anna (Evia, Central Greece, Greece) in 3 days – Complete Itinerary

3 days / 2 nights · Villages, monasteries, nature, sea

This itinerary explores three distinct corners of central Greece: Mantoudi and its hinterland, the coastal village of Limni, and the Agia Anna coast. The stops are arranged by area, with cultural and scenic visits alternated with breaks for meals and the sea. A car is strongly recommended, because public transport connections between beaches, monasteries, and waterfalls are limited.

Day 1 – Mantoudi, Prokopi and the Kymasi coast

10:00–20:30 Light sightseeing and a break by the sea

Get to know Mantoudi and its inland area before ending the day on the coast.

10:00

Walk around the center of Mantoudi

Spend about an hour in the center, among the shopping streets, the square and the cafés frequented by locals. It’s a good chance to stock up and ask about local road conditions; a simple breakfast costs around €4–8.

Park in the center and continue on foot.

11:15

Church of Saint John the Russian in Prokopi

Drive to Prokopi: allow for varying travel times depending on your starting point and chosen route. The church houses the saint’s relics and is an important pilgrimage site; admission is generally free, while an offering is optional. Dress respectfully and check on-site for any restrictions during services.

The visit may take 30–45 minutes; check the celebration times.

13:00

Lunch in Mantoudi

Head back toward Mantoudi and stop at a taverna for homemade Greek dishes, salads, and grilled specialties. For a casual lunch, budget around €12–22 per person, drinks excluded or included depending on the place.

In high season, it’s best to arrive before 14:00.

15:00

Kymasi Beach

Make your way to Kymasi, the beach near the coast of Mantoudi, for a relaxing stop by the sea. Spend your time swimming and strolling along the shore; bring water and sunscreen, as facilities and shade may be limited.

Access to the beach is generally free; any sun loungers are paid separately, typically 5–12 €.

17:30

Return and break in the village

Head back to Mantoudi at a leisurely pace and treat yourself to a coffee or a soft drink in the center, then take a short walk through the town’s streets. An iced coffee or drink usually costs around 2–5 €.

If the sea is rough, keep your beach stop to a walk only.

19:30

Dinner and overnight stay in the Mantoudi area

Have dinner in town or nearby, choosing fish, local vegetables, or mezedes to share; expect around 18–30 € per person. Staying overnight here reduces the morning transfer to Limni.

Accommodation is limited compared with larger resorts: book ahead in the summer months.

Day 2 – Limni, the Galataki Monastery and Rovies

09:30–20:30 Villages and scenic visits

Explore Limni’s waterfront and local history, with a detour to the monastery and a break on the coast at Rovies.

09:30

Arrival and walk in Limni

From Mantoudi, drive to Limni in about 25–35 minutes, depending on traffic and the route. Stroll along the seafront and through the compact town center, taking in the houses overlooking the gulf and the boats in the harbor; breakfast at the café costs roughly 4–8 €.

Park outside the narrow streets of the center.

10:45

Limni Folklore Museum

Spend about 45–60 minutes at the museum to learn about traditional life and the community’s history through objects, photographs, and local accounts. Opening hours may be seasonal or reduced: allow for a possible ticket price of 2–5 € and check opening times before you go.

If the museum is closed, use the time to visit the historic center at a relaxed pace.

12:00

Climb to Galataki Monastery

Drive to Galataki Monastery, set in a scenic spot above the coast; the road can be narrow and requires careful driving. Take in the grounds of the complex and the surrounding landscape, respecting the quiet atmosphere and the guidance of the religious community. Admission is usually free, but opening hours and accessible areas may vary.

Wear modest clothing and check the road access in advance.

14:00

Lunch in Limni

Head back to Limni for lunch in a tavern near the port or along the inner streets. For a meal featuring local dishes, budget around 15–25 € per person; allow time for a stroll along the waterfront after lunch.

Ask which fish are fresh today and the price before ordering.

16:00

Stop at Rovies Beach

Continue by car to Rovies, allowing roughly 20–30 minutes from Limni. The beach is ideal for a peaceful break: go for a swim if conditions allow, or take a walk along the shore and admire the gulf coastline. Access is free; sunbeds and umbrellas, where available, cost roughly 5–12 €.

Bring beach shoes and water, especially outside the equipped areas.

19:00

Return, dinner and overnight stay in Limni

Head back to Limni for the evening and have dinner in a local tavern, with an estimated budget of 18–30 € per person. Staying here lets you enjoy the waterfront after sunset and set off the next day toward Agia Anna without retracing the Mantoudi stretch unnecessarily.

Check the property's parking if you are traveling by car.

Day 3 – Agia Anna, Agkali and the Drimonas waterfalls

09:00–19:30 Active nature and the sea

Alternate the coast of Agia Anna with the waterfalls and the monastery inland, returning in time for dinner on the seafront.

09:00

Transfer and stroll in Agia Anna

From Limni, drive to Agia Anna, allowing about 35–50 minutes depending on the route and road conditions. Take a short walk around the village and buy water and a snack before heading to the coast; a simple breakfast typically costs €4–8.

Stock up in advance: services are less frequent in the mountainous areas.

10:00

Morning at Agkali Beach

Head to Agkali, Agia Anna’s long beach, and choose whether to swim, walk along the shoreline, or relax in one of the equipped sections. Access is generally free; a sunbed or umbrella can cost about €5–12, depending on the season and the beach bar.

Before swimming, check the wind and sea conditions.

12:30

Light lunch on the coast

Have lunch in Agia Anna with a simple choice, such as salad, souvlaki, or fish, before heading back inland. Budget around €12–25 per person; bring extra water for the walk to the waterfalls.

In summer, it’s advisable to have an early lunch to avoid the hottest hours.

14:00

Drimonas Waterfalls trail

Drive to the Drimonas waterfalls, usually allowing 35–50 minutes from the coast and taking care on the mountain roads. Follow the marked trails to view the stream and waterfalls: allow 60–90 minutes, and wear non-slip shoes. Access is normally free, but the water flow varies greatly depending on the season and rainfall.

Avoid leaving the permitted paths and do not approach slippery edges.

15:45

Visit to the Monastery of Saint David

Continue to the Monastery of Saint David, set in the mountainous landscape of northern Evia. Visit the accessible areas discreetly and respect service times; entry is usually free, while any donations are optional. Check opening times in advance, as they may vary by season.

It is an active place of worship: modest clothing and respectful behavior are required.

18:00

Return to Agia Anna and dinner

Head back toward Agia Anna, stopping only at safe spots for photos and never pulling over on the roadway. End with dinner by the sea or in town, budgeting around €18–30 per person, then continue according to your travel plans.

Mountain driving times can be longer: avoid planning your return after dark if you don’t know the area.

Meals and drinks, 3 days€90–165 per person
Fuel for local travel€30–65 per car

Indicative estimates in euros (€), the official currency of Greece; no exchange is needed for those leaving from Italy.

Practical tips

  • Rent a car or arrange private transport: many stops, especially waterfalls and monasteries, are not easily served by public transport.
  • Check museum and monastery opening hours before you go: they can change depending on the season, holidays and religious services.
  • For the Drimonas trails, bring shoes with good grip, water and sunscreen; after rain, the ground can be slippery.
  • In summer, book accommodation in advance and bring cash: some small businesses or beach services may not always accept card payments.
