Evdilos, Ikaria's second port, is 41km northwest of Agios Kirykos; they're connected by
Ikaria's two main roads. The memorable trip takes in high mountain ridges, striking sea
views and slate-roof villages. Evdilos itself skirts a small semicircular bay and rises in
tiers up a hillside. It features stately old houses on winding streets and a relaxed and ap-
pealing waterfront with a small free carpark to one side.
