Lithi
Lithi
is located 23 kilometers from the town of Chios and a mere four kilometers
north of the village Vessa.
The
village name may perhaps be derived from “Alithis limin,” meaning true
haven, which was the name given to the site by old-time travelers.
Lithi is the birthplace of Andreas Syngros, whose family house can
still be seen.
The
village is famous for its excellent fish, which is not surprising since
the local population consists primarily of fishermen.
Visitors may observe the methods utilized to repair nets alongside
the large fishing boats anchored in Omalia which is Lithi’s beautiful,
sandy beach located a short distance from the foot of the village.
The
sandy beach is captivating since it is engulfed within a peninsula that is
surrounded by an evergreen landscape, hills and medieval watchtowers or
“vigles.”
Visitors
will relish seafood delights such as red mullets, huge blackfish, bass,
and lobster alongside the Aegean Sea.
Don’t
miss…
The sunset in Lithi is truly unforgettable!
