Here, where the deep green of the orchard blends harmoniously with the reddish-beige of the stone... Here, where Nature's beauty warmly embraces the traditional mansion of an earthly master... Here at Kambos, Chios... Here at the Mavrokordatiko. The origin of the name "MAVROKORDATOS" derives from the two great Byzantine families, the Mavrous and the Gordatous, which became Mavrogordatos and eventually Mavrokordatos. The family members settled in Chios around the year 1570 where they developed commercial and economic ties with the Genovese.. The Mavrokordatiko building was constructed in January, 1736. Since that time it was passed down to family members until 1938 when the last of the generation donated it to the Chios Municipality. Today it is used as a traditional guest house, restaurant and cafeteria. A traditional mansion built in 1736. Renovated in 1995 in order to offer high quality accommodation services. All the rooms are equipped with bathroom, satellite TV, mini bar, telephone, radio, hairdryer and air-conditioning facilities. There are also safe deposit boxes available... ...And a special space for children to have fun. There is a restaurant on the ground floor and the yard. With international as well as traditional greek cuisine. You, also, may relax and enjoy your drink or refreshments at the cafeteria in the front yard, near to the "Maggano". It is open all year round.
