We walked along the river bank to this beautiful waterfall. It takes about 1 hour to walk and the waterfall pond is stuffing, crystal clear water under the stunning cascading waterfall. Further up there are more waterfalls. Be sure to bring water & food with you & at the base of the fall there are rock pools & huge rocks to sit & lye on so you can relax and embrace the beautiful scenery & nature. The waterfalls at Therma as very small this is the one you need to visit.

This is probably the best and most informative museum I have ever been to in Greece. An absolute recommendation is to pay a visit to this museum as soon as you arrive to Chios. You will get an excellent knowledge of the historic background of the island, the Masticha tradition and will then get more value out of your visit to the different places in the ”Mastochorio” region of the island.

I am.very sad we did not swim in that beach. During our road trip to Chios we found this beach. Unfortunately without having our swimsuits it was not possible to swim. This beach is a paradise. Look the photos!!

Our cultivation varieties are all Greek and preferably of the Aegean variety. White varieties include the Samos Muscat and the Asyrtic. The red varieties are the Phokiano, the Augustiatis and the Black Muscat of Samos. The company’s museum is housed in a traditional building built in 1920 and takes up 90sq metres. It was totally renovated in 2005 without changing its original form.

A pretty town whose houses are decorated with carved and painted patterns called graffito.

The village of Pyrgi is a very unique village. The residents decorate their buildings is dark grey and while geometric designs which are quite interesting and time consuming to create. I have never encountered a place like this anywhere else in Greece. Pyrgi is very quaint, with typical Greek village scenery and an opportunity to take some neat pictures. The people are friendly and there are several restaurants where you can eat or get a drink. If you are touring Chios island it is well worth your time to drive to Pyrgi.

A beautiful 11th century Byzantine monastery decorated with mosaics and relics.
Reviewed By VassiliaNorth - Athens, Greece
I have a summer home in Chios and all though I have travelled back and forth the last summers I never made the time to go visit this beautiful historic Monastery. I had studied history of art in school and College and done tones of reading about the Byzantine empire had visited both Constantinople (Istanbul) and Mesta and left the 3rd most iconic Byzantine site even if it was there close all along. It’s beautiful and unique although not very big and with a very small museum that operates little hours it was magical to see the architecture. Highlight was the amazing marble monastery build in table! And the amazing view of all the island of Chios. Definitely worth a stop on your way to the west side beach’s of the island. We made it into a road trip and got to visit Agia Markella on the same day!

This beach is without a doubt a little paradise. We were the only people there at 11 am! We could not have asked for something else! Very clean and with a nice path to walk down to the beach! Visit it otherwise you missed a special part of Chios! Not organized, nothing to drink or eat around!
