Visit Chios

An Aegean treasure waiting to be discovered.

Fragrant. Captivating. A lady and a Captain. Chios, the fifth largest Greek island has everything! Captains' mansions, castle-villages that date back to the Middle Ages, remarkable monuments, history and legends, endless beaches and lush vegetation all year round. And the scent of mastic dominates the island that, according to one theory, is the birthplace of Homer. There are many myths about how the island got its name. According to Homer, the island’s original name in prehellenic times was Kios or Keos, similar to the name Chios today.
