Chios Island-Greece1

Hello Travelers !🌞

This time,i'm going to talk about Chios Island or Nisos Xios which i've visited 2 times.

My first step to this island was in 2014 but it was a daily trip and it wasn't enough.

My second trip was in February 2016 and it was for 2 days.

Let's talk about Island of Mastic..

Transportation: 

There are 3 ways to reach this island.You can fly there from some cities or other islands to Chios Island.Or you can take a ferry which also visits other Greek islands.

But my choice was 3rd,however it's first for me.3rd way is a ferry from Çeşme/Turkey.It takes 20 minutes by fast-ferry and it's around 30-32€ (changeable by season).Slower ferries are cheaper and takes around 1 hour.

Accommodation:

I've heard about Chios Rooms from my friends before and they were really glad to stay there.It's very economical and in the centre of the Chios city.

I've sent a mail to Don to ask for free rooms.He offered us a room for three person included private bathroom.The cost was 25€ for one night totally.And i agreed that,it was really economical.

I recommend you this place.Don was very kind to us.And rooms were clean.

Rent a car:

We wanted to rent a car from Aegean Atsalis,it was 40€ for 2 days.Of course the price can be higher in the high season.

Where to eat?

We usually prefer Everest on the islands for breakfast.Its products and coffees are delicious.Of course you can also discover other pattiseries behind the streets.

We ate a good dinner at Mesta Limani or Limenas.It was Papamihalakis Restaurant.

I absolutely advise you to visit this place and taste it's food.Especially if you love sea food,this place will be a great choice.

Shopping:

At the coast of Chios and its back streets you can find small local shops.You can find there everything about Mastic.Jam,liqueur,ouzou,cookies etc.

They are not so expensive.You can find what you are looking for in a good price.

That was an information part.Next part will be about the villages and other places that you should visit in the island..
