Voulamandis House is located in the region Kampos of Chios island . It is 6km far from the main town of Chios and just 3km from the famous sandy beach of Karfas. Kampos is one of the most beautiful places of Chios. In this area lots of mansions have been heritaged from the past, due to the fact that this area was the colony of the genoese.

Usually Saturday and Sunday is crowded but you can still find a quite spot to enjoy its wonderful green coloured waters. Komi supposed to be one of the most well known beaches of Chios.

Black Stone beach is the beach that any guests that visits Chios shouldn't miss. You probably have read already many things about it. Was created by a volcano thus the stones are black. Once you arrive in the beach you will notice that there is not only one beach. Walk 4-5 minutes and you will see more places for swimming. Wind sensitive beach. Get our advice before you travel there. In the harbor of Black stone beach you may find nice tavernas too. Start early from hotel to spend a wonderful day combining the surrounding villages (pyrgi, mesta, olympoi, elata). No beach beds not umbrellas.

The entire village of Pyrgi - 25 Km south of the town of Chios - is one of the areas which still stands as it was built. The narrow roads, the innumerable churches, and amongst them the 13th century Byzantine church of St. Apostles in combination with the unique black and white geometrical decor of the outer walls of the houses. -The "xysta" -are the things which enchant the visitor.

At the center of Pyrgi rises the defense tower, where the inhabitants took refuge in the case of attack, using a movable bridge. The streets are narrow , stone-paved, and are connected to the central tower square. At frequent intervals there are transverse archways supporting the structures, as well as vaults and arches supporting the rooms. The functional character of the houses was geared to defense, and thus the inhabitants were able to move about the roofs without being seen. The four-sided shape of these houses, their thick structure, the defense system, the small areas for general use, and their relation to the treeless, natural surroundings, convince us that Pyrgi was built on a fixed plan which may have been imposed by the Genoese.

It is very small, around 100 meters long and is accessible on foot after leaving the car a few meters up, in a parking lot there.

The monastery was built in the mid-11th century, by Byzantine emperor Constantine IX Monomachos and his wife, Empress Zoe. According to tradition, it is built on the location where three monks, Nikitas, Ioannes and Iosif, miraculously found an icon of the Virgin Mary, hanging from a branch of myrtle.[2] At that time, Constantine was exiled in nearby Lesbos, and the monks visited him and told of a vision according to which he would eventually become emperor. Constantine promised to build a church if this should come to pass. Indeed, in 1042, Constantine became emperor, and in gratitude began constructing the monastery, dedicated to the Theotokos.[2] The main church (the katholikon) was inaugurated in 1049, and the complex finished in 1055, after Constantine's death.[3]

This is a village in central Chios, at 16 Km from Hora (capital), on the west side of the island, and at about 6 Km from Anavatos. The name of the village, according to Konstantinos Amantos (literary figure), derives from the local name “Avgonimata” (an area between Avgonima and Anavatos), which - in Greek - means “low - value fields”. The village is very old, probably pre-mediaeval. Jeronimo Ioustiniani has referred to the village as a fortress, which, according to legend, was devastated by pirates. Elinta (or otherwise Alinta, Alous, Alounta or Eleounta) is a sheltered bay on the west of the village - Archaeo - logical excavations on the area have revealed finds dating from the Romans. The scarcity of fresh water - a great problem for the local people - has been commemoreted in a verse, written by some unknown visitor to the area in the past, which is still said nowadays: “Avgonima is a nice village - with a disadvantage, though. By the time you pour the water, the pot has burnt!”

Although it is a deserted village, it has still preserved its history, which is often sensed by the visitor when wandering through its stone-paved streets. The town has often been associated with the Greek War of Independence in 1821 and the massacres of 1822, who represent an important part in history of the island.

The village of Anavatos got its name originally from the Greek word "anaveno", which means "I climb". For such a difficult to reach village perched on top of a cliff, this name definitely fits. The village is built on a rocky elevation with steep sides and sheer cliffs on the South and West, so that it can only be approached from the North. This natural defenses make it probable that the village was originally founded in this site for security reasons to control the west cast during the period of piracy.

On the west of Chios you will find some of Chios most unique, secluded, and virgin beaches. Elida bay is one that stands out, and for good reason too. A magical location, a big closed bay, quiet and sheltered from winds, that lies 25 kilometres from town and five kilometres form Anavatos and Lithi respectively.
The rare beauty of the surrounding nature is stunning. Mountains surround the bay and the pine trees reach up to the seaside. The green blue cool waters and the all white pebbles of the beach offer a unique experience that no visitor should miss. The beach has no umbrellas or a cantine to serve drinks. It is an amazing beach for people that like to enjoy nature beauties.

Nagos beach is a small bay, with small dark pebbles and crystal clear waters. On top of the hill a small church offers a picturesque touch to the scenery. Around the beach there are several taverns that work during the summer, offering selections of local cuisine and fresh fish.  Nagos is one of the most beautiful beaches in Chios.
