Erytha Hotel & Resort

CHIOS ISLAND Description of Chios: The island where the blind poet Homer was born….where the myth is usually connected to history… where the taste of mastic met the fragrance of the flowers and time spread Genovese- Byzantine castles, bright temples and middle age villages… where poetry, wisdom and arts dominate Chios is one of the Northeastern Aegean Islands and the fifth larger island in Greece. It is just a few miles off the coast of Asia Minor and about midway between the islands of Samos and Lesvos. The distance from the port of Piraeus is about 165 miles, though you can reach the island by air in less than 40 minutes. The island is also connected frequently to both Samos and Lesvos by sea and by air. Chios is also one of the few places in Greece from where you can visit Turkey. There is a year-round boat connection with the Turkish city of Cesme on the Asia Minor Coast which is an hour drive from Smyrna. Chios is famous for its Mastic Gum, a unique product, its well preserved medieval villages and Byzantine castles. This is the birthplace of poet Homer. Chios is an island that perfectly combines the originality and warmth of the past to the modern demands. Summer in Chios lasts from April to October. The island is full of forests, breath-taking beaches, picturesque villages each with a different history and traditional houses build side-by-side to each-other. The real wealth of Chios however, is its people and their hospitality, their traditional cuisine and their hand-made works. Chios is just the right place you've been looking for… A place where the tourist feels more like a guest and has the opportunity to discover many values and traditions the mass tourism has driven away from other places.
