Giosonas

Chiostravel

On Chios you can find plenty of beautiful beaches, one of those is Giosonas – The name’s origin is the mythical hero of antiquity with the name Giasonas (engl. version: Jason). People say that this god passed the place during the Argonaut’s expedition on his quest to retrieve the Golden Fleece. The beach with smooth pebbles and crystal clear water seems to be endless. The waters are deep blue or green, depending on the light and the time of day. Giosonas opens wide to the Aegean Sea and offers a restful and relaxing holiday. The location is pretty quiet, with […]

Komi – the ideal beach for every age!

Chiostravel

On Chios Island you will quickly get used to the advantages of stony beaches: You don’t have sand everywhere in your beach bag and after you put sun lotion you will not look like a giant Schnitzel! But of course sometimes we all need a little sand in our holidays at one point and don’t you worry: Of course an Island as multifaceted as Chios has many different types of beaches and the best example for a perfect sand beach is KOMI!

Didima Beach – beautiful and isolated

Chiostravel

A picturesque and isolated place, perfect for relaxing and enjoying a calm summer day – that’s Didima beach. Didima translated from Greek to English means twins. And there is a simple reason, why the beach is called like that. It is because of the two small coves, separated by a rocky alluvium, that the beach consists of. They look very much alike – both offer white pebbles and crystal clear turquoise water! It s a very beautiful and not really touristy beach, because of its location 32 km southwest of Chios City far away from the busy coasts of the […]

Mavra Volia – A Must See!

Chiostravel

  Mavra Volia, also known as Mavros Gyalos, is unique and one of the most beautiful beaches on the island and definitely a magic place! It is located south-west, about 30 km away from the city of Chios and is near Emporios village. Because of the present volcano Psaronas’ eruption millions of years ago the stones of the beach are covered and colored black, as it is unprecedented anywhere else. This beach is the sum of three small beaches, each in its small bay. Thus, the peculiarity of the black, rounded, shiny pebbles, the steep rock that imposingly stands above […]

Glari Beach

Chiostravel

Somewhere on Chios Island between Vrontados and Sikliada there is a place with which you will fall in love at first sight. I am talking about the facinating Glari Beach (γλάρος in Greek means seagull)! Seagulls can find there a shelter during the winter – hence its name. Clear, blue water, sandy beach, trees for those who need a little bit shadow and amazing view are worth  to come here, even for a while. Blue-green water can be found there because of a water spring that comes from the mountain. During the summer season the beach-bar is working, so in […]
