Chios: A Journey Through History & Development

Situated in the North Aegean Sea near the coast of Turkey, the island of Chios (pronounced Hee-os) is the fifth largest Greek island. It is renowned for its legendary mastic trees, medieval villages, a UNESCO-recognized monastery, and a rich history that dates back to the Neolithic period 8,000 years ago.

Chios, Greece, is an unexplored gem far from large summer crowds, making it ideal for those who wish to relax and immerse themselves in history while exploring its more than 70 beaches. Among the most famous are Mavra Volia with its dark pebbles and Komi Beach’s soft sands.
