Traditional, stone-built house with amazing sea and sunset views in the traditional medieval settlement of Patrika, one of the Mastic-villages of Chios.
As a part of the Eastern Aegean Island group, Chios is slightly remote but totally worth visiting thanks to its stunning beaches and impressive medieval villages! The labyrinth-like alleys of settlements such as Pyrgi and Olympi stand out for the elaborate architecture of their traditional houses, with geometrical designs and a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere.

The island's airport received flights from Athens. Alternatively, you could take a ferry from Piraeus port in Athens. Ferry connections between Chios and other Eastern Aegean islands are available as well.

The best part of Chios and what makes the island unique is what are known as the mastikahoria, the famous mastic villages of Chios. These are a series of fortified villages built in the 14th century during Genovese rule.
