Chios is one of the greatest and most unique Greek islands, is situated in the East Aegean Sea and it ranks as the 5th largest in Greece and the 10th in the Mediterranean Sea. It is just a few miles away from the Asia Minor coast and it is located between the Greek islands of Samos, Ikaria and Mytilene.
The island has a temperate Mediterranean climate with mild winters and mostly dry summers. It is exposed to north and northeast winds and ranks third in terms of sunshine among the Greek islands.
The local products are plenty but the production of mastiha and its products stand out and so do citrus fruits, especially the mandarins. A big variety of fruits in syrup, ouzo and wine fascinates whoever tastes them and the beneficial properties of the local olive oil accompanies healthy Mediterranean dishes.
Visiting Chios you should definitely see:
- Castle of Chios: Wander around the streets of the castle see and historic attractions. Relax in the central square.
- Nea Moni: One of UNESCO's world heritage monuments of religious, historical, archeological and architectural value.
- Pyrgi and Mesta: The traditional designing activity of "xysta" and the well-preserved medieval castle-village.
- Emporios and Mavra Volia: The picturesque harbor of Emporios and the lovely beach characterized by its volcanic in origin pebbles.
- Kampos: Walk around the narrow streets, vast gardens and magnificent mansions of Kampos.
- Anavatos: A true monument of medieval defensive architecture, perched on a steep cliff.
- The Caverns: The small though magnificent cavern of Olympi and the cave of Agio Galas with the Chapel of Virgin Mary standing at the entrance.
- The west side beaches: Pick a beach on the west side of the island, for a swim and pure relaxation under the sun. They're all lonely and lovely.
- Avgonima and Sidirounta: Stroll around the cobbled streets and the stone houses. Enjoy delicious food and spectacular sunsets.

Idyllic scenery with crystal clear waters, beaches with sand, lava or multicolored pebbles. They all are one of a kind and give a unique touch to the landscape.
