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).

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 […]
