Villages frozen in the medieval period. Volcanic beaches. Byzantine monasteries. The story of Chios told through its places.
Where every wall is a canvas of ancient geometric art
A medieval labyrinth built as a weapon against pirates
A living harbor city where Byzantine, Genoese, and Ottoman layers stack like geological strata
Volcanic black pebbles, impossibly blue water — the most dramatic beach in Greece
Crystal-clear aquamarine water, white pebbles, and total seclusion — paradise found
An 11th-century Byzantine monastery of breathtaking beauty — a UNESCO World Heritage Site
An abandoned Byzantine city perched on a vertical cliff, frozen in 1822
The closest beach to Chios Town — wide, sandy, and perfect for families
A sweeping pebble bay on the wild west coast, with a charming fishing village
A 10th-century fortress at the heart of the capital, built by Byzantines and expanded by Genoese
Witness one of the world's most ancient and labor-intensive agricultural rituals
A medieval village perched 360 meters above sea level, surrounded by ancient olive groves
