Introduction – our name
Crete is home to numerous endemic species … from insects and reptiles to flowers and even a tree, the list is very long.
One of the most impressive, endemic plants is the Cretan Ebony (Ebenus Cretica), not only due to its striking colour, but also because, being a chasmophyte, its natural habitat is often out of reach to most.
In Greek it´s also known as “the wood of lords” (Αρχοντόξυλο) referring to its charisma but it is most commonly known as Évenos.
As a tribute to Evenos, this element of the Cretan eco-system that so very often decorates our hikes during the spring, hanging gracefully from tiny cracks in the rocks above our heads, we hope to honour it in every way possible; not only by sharing with you our passion for our homeland and its preservation, but also by offering you a unique, unforgettable experience throughout your stay.
Evenos Travel is an alternative travel agency based in Crete that focuses on personalised holidays and trips in west Crete.
