With a rich history reflected in its fortress-like medieval villages, distinctive architecture, maze-like cobblestone alleys, and attractions such as the Byzantine Museum and Nea Moni, the island is a splendid cultural hub worth exploring.Ĭhios also has an array of beautiful and diverse beaches for those seeking a relaxing stay.
The unique Chios Mastic Museum tells the extraordinary story of this local treasure.
The island is known as the exclusive source of mastic, the precious, fragrant resin of the mastic trees that grow around the southern part of the island. Said to be the birthplace of Homer, Chios is one of the least-explored Greek islands, as its traditionally seafaring population has consciously resisted the mass tourism development of other places.
