A beautiful 11th century Byzantine monastery decorated with mosaics and relics.
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!

Samos is wonderful. It has things to do and see, no matter how long you may stay! Beautiful and green, lovely beaches, azure sea and lovely food, with some of the most important historical settings in Greece, Samos is a place you MUST visit!

Oldest European city and harbor.Old as 5th millennium BC preceding Troy I.Surrounded by stone walls secured people inside.You can see streets public buildings,square houses, shops,wells proving that it was an organized society. Excavations show that it was abandoned after 2dn millenium BC probably due to fierce earthquakes.

Don't miss your chance to visit this shop/studio and find some incredible pottery!!! Costis is a wonderfully talented potter and has a true love for working with clay and preserving the tradition of his forefathers. His work is one of a kind, hand made with love, and truly original with gorgeous glaze colours that even sparkle in the sun! ???? The shop and studio is located right on the beach at the corner of the trail and you can buy some very affordable pieces or even some lovely sets that would make for some great gifts! (I wish I had more room in my suitcase!) I'm so fortunate to have visited here and to have spent some time with a true master as well. If you're in Thasos and appreciate true beauty and original art at a super price then you need to pay him a visit. Euxaristo para poli Costi! Thank you for your time spent with me and for sharing your gift with us all.
