Chios Reviews -General

I went to Chios with my husband and my two daughters last July.

We didn?t really know what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. This island is part of the north-eastern Aegean islands and is very close to the Turkish shores; and we could feel this proximity to Turkey within the architecture of the island. Very beautiful!
We stayed in the capital, Chios Town, which is a modern and well-equipped town with a traditional, old part (in the heart of the town) which is very charming.
We also visited the so-called Mastic Villages (can?t remember the name in Greek) which are extremely beautiful and authentic.
My girls loved the beaches and the waters of Chios and all the traditional pastries and sweets produced with the mastic of the island.
I recommend this island to anyone (with or without kids); but you have to rent a car otherwise you will miss everything because the island is large and has so many sights, villages and beaches to discover.
