La Tua Odissea di 7 Giorni di Felicità

Giorno 1: Un'Odissea in Spiaggia nel Sud

Inizia il tuo viaggio verso sud per esplorare le spiagge eccezionali di Chios. Immergiti nell'atmosfera vibrante di Komi, un rifugio di sabbia attrezzato con numerosi ristoranti e bar. Se desideri tranquillità, visita Kato Fana, un'elegante spiaggia non attrezzata che offre serenità e relax. Successivamente, visita Avlonia a Pyrgi e scopri le spiagge di Salagona, Avlonia e Apotheka, situate vicino al villaggio medievale di Mesta. Concludi la tua giornata con una passeggiata ad Armolia, un tempo famosa per la sua ceramica, e passeggia per il villaggio medievale.

Giorno 2: La Felicità del Sud Svelata

Continue your adventure through the southern part of Chios. Take a refreshing dip in Mavra Volia and Foki, two beaches renowned throughout Greece. While they may not be organized, fear not – there's a quaint beachside kiosk to cater to your needs. En route to the beach, make a pitstop at the Mastiha Museum of Chios. Proceed with a visit to Pyrgi, an eminent mastic village and the largest among the villages in southern Chios. Explore the village adorned with "ksista" (linear patterns on house facades) and "doxarades" (arches).

Giorno 3: Serenità del Sud

Prosegui il tuo viaggio attraverso la parte meridionale di Chios per una giornata di felicità sulla bellissima spiaggia di Agia Dynami. Prima di visitare il villaggio di Olympoi, fai una sosta nella grotta omonima – una deviazione che vale la pena. I biglietti costano 5 euro a persona, con visite guidate ogni ora. Procedi con una passeggiata tranquilla attraverso Olympoi e una visita a Vessa.

Giorno 4: Esplorazione del Nord-Est

Head towards the northeastern part of the island. Explore Daskalopetra and the Stone of Homer. Along the way, you'll encounter the famous Windmills of Chios, a picturesque Instagram hotspot. Take a refreshing dip in Mersinidi, a stunning unorganized beach with the Monastery of Mersinidi overlooking. This monastery is featured in the book by author G. Makridakis and the film "The Right Pocket of the Robe." If you prefer an organized beach, continue to the beach of Glaron. In Lagada, a charming fishing village, discover taverns and ouzeri for delightful meals, coffee, and desserts. Alternatively, visit Pantoukios for fresh fish. For a drink, head to Oz Bay and savor their signature cocktails.

Giorno 5: Meraviglie Centrali

Your next destination is central Chios. We recommend a visit to the Nea Moni Monastery, a Byzantine monument that belongs to UNESCO's world heritage sites. The unspoiled beaches of Western Chios are plentiful! Stock up on water, coffee, and snacks and dive into Elinta, Tiganis, Giali, and Trachili. Before and/or after your swim – make sure to have a light – take a stroll through the abandoned village of Anavatos, considered the Mystras of the Aegean. Then head for a delightful meal in Avgonyma.

Giorno 6: Meraviglie del Nord-Ovest

Now, it's time for northwestern Chios, starting with Volissos. Enjoy the excellent beaches of Managros, an unorganized destination, as well as Lemnos, Limnia, and Magemena beaches offering sunbeds and bars for comfortable relaxation. Next to these beaches is the Monastery of Agia Markella, and you can also visit the place where she tragically lost her life. In the organized beaches and the village of Volissos, you'll find plenty of dining options. From Volissos, you can also visit Agio Gala, a cave with unique beauty and a special history! If you have additional time, take a walk in the surrounding villages of Amani, with a visit to Palia Potamia, an abandoned village embraced by nature in its unique way!

Alternatively, leaving Volissos, you can visit Pityos for a meal, a village different from what you've seen so far. Surely, dining under the century-old plane tree will be a special experience. Leaving Pityos, for those who want to enjoy the unique view of the Aegean, you can take the route to Kardamyla, the village of shipowners. Make sure to have some light to enjoy the journey. Arriving in Kardamyla, you have the option to go to Ano Kardamyla or to Marmaro, the village's beach, for ouzo, drinks, coffee, and dessert.

Giorno 7: Fascini della Città

For your final day, we've saved the city, Chora, as the locals call it. Begin your day strolling through Apotarita, the central shopping promenade of the island. Explore the surrounding streets with boutique shops, grocery stores, and small alleys boasting charming cafes offering loukoumades with chocolate, honey, and cinnamon. At the end of Apotarita, on Argenti Street, you'll find the "KRONOS" store with local ice cream. Try mastiha and mandarin ice cream.

Continua la tua passeggiata verso la spiaggia di Chora, passando per caffè, ‘ouzeri’ e bar che offrono caffè e drink a tutte le ore del giorno. Dirigiti verso il Castello, dove puoi visitare il cimitero turco, la moschea, le terme ottomane, la Prigione Nera, le mura e passeggiare per il quartiere che un tempo ospitava rifugiati dalla costa dell'Asia Minore.

For a beach day from the city, you can go to the sandy beach of Karfas, ideal for families with young children. Alternatively, there's the pebble beach of Agia Fotia. Both beaches are organized with shops offering sunbeds and umbrellas, as well as options for food, coffee, and drinks.

Continua la tua passeggiata a Kampos e ammira le sue ville, collegate alla storia e allo sviluppo dell'isola. Esplora gli orti che ospitano i famosi mandarini di Chios e altri frutti. Visita Perivoli e il Museo degli Agrumi. Osserva la pressa nel suo cortile e passeggia attraverso il suo frutteto.
