HISTORY
Where Legends Linger, and Time Still Whispers
Chios is not just an island—it is a living tapestry of myth, memory, and power. Birthplace of Homer, mother of mastic, crossroads of empires. From the ancient stone of Daskalopetra where the poet once taught, to the haunting silence of Anavatos and the sacred splendor of Nea Moni, Chios wears its history like perfume—deep, rare, unforgettable. Wander through medieval mastic villages, walk the paths of philosophers, poets, and rebels, and let the past seduce you. Here, history isn’t told—it’s felt.
Temple of Apollo at Fana
On the sacred ground of Apollo’s temple rises a humble chapel, built from the ruins of the ancient stones. A place where faith endures, uniting antiquity and Christianity.
