A mastic-scented island with fascinating history!
Chios is famous for mastiha, as it is not the only “magic” one can find on this island. Alongside its
rich history starting from the Neolithic Age and including adventures with
Saracene pirates and the Turks during the Greek Revolution, Chios also claims to be the birthplace of
Homer. It was certainly the birthplace of eminent Greek politicians and writers such as Adamantios Korais, Emmanouil Roidis and
Alexandre Mavrokordatos.
Chios, part of the North Eastern Greek Island complex, is home to 53,000 people today. Explore the places where these people build their day-to-day lives: either in medieval settlements where Genoa and Chios meet, or in beautiful small towns by the sea, and participate in religious festivities where the locals make their own colourful history, such as the explosive Rocket War in Vrodados.
Sights
Which are the "hot" points of Chios? Actually Chios is not only the town. There is so much to discover around the island. Villages that are true jewels, as well as museums of great importance.
