Sara Wheeler goes back to Evia after a 30-year gap — and finds little has changed. Her first book – “Evia: Travels on an Undiscovered Greek Island” – is the story of a six-month journey she made from the southern tip to the north of the island. Instantly enchanted by the landscape and languid pace of Evia, Wheeler immersed herself in the local way of life, where she witnessed centuries-old traditions.
Thirty years ago I wrote a book about a six-month Evian journey, returning this year for the first time. I recognised my island.
