Travelling to Chios, by Mary Axiotis (PART I)
(editor’s note: Personal impressions of a Greek American who is visiting Chios every summer for forty years now)
The island of Chios is one of the largest islands in Greece located in the north eastern part of the Aegean Sea.
A few years ago, Chios was an undiscovered island in the world of tourism. Lately it’s becoming quite known to European tourists and many Greek Americans who visit the island during the summer months, especially in August. As with any other Greek American, my husband and I visit Chios every summer for the past 40 years.
