Chios
55 beaches
Chios, the distinguished island of the Northern Aegean, is home to over 90 beaches of remarkable diversity. From the otherworldly black volcanic pebbles of Mavra Volia to serene sandy coves with crystal-clear waters, every stretch of coastline offers its own distinct character. The sea is deep blue, relatively calm, and typically cooler than the southern Aegean, making it a refreshing escape during peak summer months. Far from the crowds of more commercial destinations, Chios is ideal for couples seeking romance, families craving authenticity, and nature lovers drawn to unspoiled landscapes. Visitors also enjoy exploring the island's medieval mastic villages, just minutes from the shore.
