The BIG Chios Greece Travel Guide 2025

You probably don’t know where Chios is. Perfect. That means the ghost villages, black volcanic beaches, and “secret” ouzo spots are still mostly yours. This isn’t Santorini, it’s something stranger, older, and wildly more alive.

On Chios, pirates once hid in alley mazes, Homer may have been born (between myth and bread truck), and locals harvest tree resin that smells like ancient history. From fortified villages and Venetian castles to goat-baked-in-wine and cursed ruins, this island doesn’t just defy expectations—it dodges them entirely.

What’s Inside:
🏰 Pyrgi, Mesta & Olympi – A maze of medieval towns built to confuse pirates
🌊 Beaches that range from divine coves to volcanic black-rock drama
🧙‍♂️ Cliff-hanging ghost towns and haunted monasteries (yes, with skulls)
🛏️ Where to stay: castle walls, sea-view villages, or just go full monk mode
🍽️ What to eat: mastelo, masourakia, mystery stews, and tree-tear gelato
💡 How to get there, why you’ll need a car, and when the island throws goat-fueled parties

👍 Like if your idea of paradise includes pirate towers and beaches with zero influencers.
