Chios is an island of quiet beauty and rich character, set in the northeastern Aegean where tradition and nature meet the sea. Known worldwide as the home of mastiha, a rare aromatic resin cultivated in the island’s southern villages, Chios offers an authentic Greek experience shaped by centuries of maritime history, stone-built villages, and unspoiled landscapes. From medieval settlements and Byzantine monasteries to fragrant citrus orchards and clear blue waters, the island reveals its charm slowly, rewarding visitors who value culture, calm, and genuine hospitality.

The port of Chios Town is the island’s vibrant heart, where ferries arrive, cafés line the waterfront, and the rhythm of local life unfolds by the sea. Staying here places guests within walking distance of historic landmarks, shops, and seaside tavernas, while also offering easy access to the island’s beaches and countryside.
