The whispering sounds of the waves echo in the breeze as they reach out and cling to the seashore.
The clear blue sky is filled with sea gulls flying freely in the air.
Imagine a place offering escape, shelter, adventure, and discovery all provided from the natural components that comprise its existence.

Can such a place possibly exist in our day and age?

It can and it does!
It is CHIOS, the island that links the east with the west, where the old meets the new, while the key to the present lies in the past.

Info to island visitors

Following its third season of operation, the Mobile Information Unit provides information to island visitors on the local port of Chios. This innovative tool is available during the summer months to greet visitors coming from Piraeus, as well as during weekdays (9:30 a.m. - 13:30 p.m.) to give complete tours to must see highlights. Just look for the Mobile Info Unit in circulation across the island!

From Kampos and the Mastic villages, to Volissos and Anavatos. From the town of Chios and Avgonyma, to Kardamila and Vrondados…
Chios is filled with joy, life, flavor and ouzo.
The sea of Chios, its land, nobility, and restlessness.
Chios of spirit and art.
This is the Chios we would like to introduce to you through The Green Net of Chios.
Our island, our nature, and our temperament are in harmony with tourism that doesn’t disrupt or alter our daily activities…those of which we would like to share.

Chios has been subjected to a stream of cultures over the course of time. Eight thousand years of continual human survival have left their imprint on the island’s landscape, its stone villages, stalactite caverns and mountainous terrain. Nonetheless, it has managed to maintain its identity...

Here, you will be able to escape the pressure and stress, to put life back into perspective and find the true essence of living whether you are looking for peace or exhilaration. A place that will expand your horizons, unveil the meaning of life through its heritage, its people, even its land.

"... I smelled the flavor of Chios when I visited the island as a young student. First, I savored the flavor of mastic followed by the flavor of oregano, sagebrush, mandarins and thyme. However, the flavor of the sea could not be missed.

Charming flavors, all of them, guide you in love. In love by its double meaning, the purple one and the holy one...
