Commencing in 1992 I have been visiting Chios for holidays, the time on Chios since my retirement in early 1995 averaging nearly six months each year. My interests in all aspects of natural history, including a major invertebrate biodiversity study with the help of the Liverpool Museum and by colleagues from other U.K. institutions has given me a broad insight into Chios natural history. I have also undertaken much field investigation with local naturalists, from whom I have also received much help.
I would like to thank Iannis Choremi for much help and encouragement in my investigations into Chios natural history and for some of the information on Marine Life, Reptiles, Amphibians and Mammals for this booklet.

Visitors can enjoy the wildflowers of Chios all year round. However, there is an impressive variety of flowers from late winter until early summer.
Autumn and winter landscapes are flooded with cyclamens, crocus, lilies and other wildflower species. At the end of winter, flowers that belong to the orchids’ series Himantoglossum robertianum appear at various sites all over the island.
Agricultural practices in Chios are various and non-intensive, enabling thus the creation of sites of botanical interest and variety. Early in the season the visitor will discover different flowers at sites that are close to one another. There are different types of anemones, wild tulips (which the locals call “lalades”), poppies, bushes, sparti, irises and many other species. Aromatic herbs, such as sage and oregano are also in blossom at the time.
There are several beautiful sites at Chios where you can admire the variety of wildflowers.
Kato Fana at the south of Chios is a sandy beach, at the back of which sand hills have been formed. Orchids grow there during April and May.
Managros at the north – west of Chios is a three kilometer sand and pebble beach. Spring wild flowers are found there from late March to mid April.
Pelinaio Mountain has been the focus of botanical research. There are some unique species that only grow on the mountain, such as a type of dwarf cherry (Prunus prostratum) and Fritillaria pelinea.
The Kampia ravine at the north of Chios with a length of two miles is a treasure of flowers. The best time for a walk there is in May. You can enjoy the shadow from the thick vegetation, the walk by the river, oak trees and wild roses growing by its side.
The low hills in central and south Chios, near the villages of Pyrgi, Olympoi and Mesta are rich in a flora species called maquis. Some rare orchids can be found there.
The significant number of orchids that have been discovered in Chios is an example of the island’s rich flora. In 2002 and 2003 five new species have been added. A lot of botanists have done research on the orchids of Chios and as a result Chios has received worldwide attention as one of the richest places of Europe in orchids.

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.
Markellos and Sotiris are the owner of the Taverna. Very close to Voulamandis House. 1.1km , 15minutes on foor and 2 minutes by car. It serves delicious tastes of meat and fish dishes. It has dishes for vegans too, We recommend "kotsi" (meat), delicious! The taverna doesn't have live music , you better inform us to book a table for you. It has two floors. The first floor has a nice balcony. The phone nuber is 0030 2271 033352
George Mamalis very good friend of ours has a family taverna with delicious dishes. It operates during the whole day (Summer Season mainly). Most of Voulamandis House guests enjoyed their dinner and recommended it. Located in Area of Megas Limnionas very close to our hotel. It has live music but first ask us to give him a call. His phone number is 0030 2271 032178
Citrus is the Museum of Kambos Region. It is a wonderful place to visit and learn about the history of Kambos Area. You will see old pictures , old tools and taste local sweets. We recommend to visit it on foot in the afternoon. Citrus serves also coffee and tea.
Nikos Roxanas is the owner of Bahari. It is a very nice taverna, nicely decorated with the view to Agia Ermioni (fish port). Romantic place where you can enjoy excellent traditional dishes. We recommend this place for our guests and is very close to Voulamandis House. In case you like to book feel free to ask our assistance.
Komi is located south East as you can notice from the map. It is a big sandy beach with umbrellas and beach beds. There are beach bars in the area that could serve you a cold drink or a coffee. 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.

The beautiful and picturesque beach Vroulidia located 11 km south around the tower. 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 organization is a vestigial canteen parked in the space above the beach, so you should go equipped with the necessary supplies for you and umbrellas. It usually 100% protected by all short of types of North Wind (East, West) but not from South Wind. Get our advise before you go there after your breakfast. We recommended it !!
Are you reading this text ? Well stop now and GO THERE!. The beauty of Nature's simplicity. Just everything is the right place with the right color. We love this beach , we recommend this beach.

Agia Dynami is one of the most beautiful beaches of the island. Located 36 km south-west of the town of Chios and 7 miles south of Olympi village. It got the name from the monastery, Agia Dynami (St. Power), which dominates the hill on the south side of the bay. It differs from the other beaches of the island due to its turquoise waters and white sand. There is no organization that is why you need to have the necessary supplies for you. To get there you need before to arrive in Olympoi villafa turn to direction of cave to Olympoi. The street is asphalt and easy to drive. No tavernaw around the area.

It is a quiet pebble beach. The last 3 years a nice beach bar operates there. Yoso Beach Bar. Usually they have chill out music and they offer umbrellas and beach beds. It is a wonderful option for North Chios but the weather needs to be nice (no wind). We recommend lunch in Lagada Village in our friends taverna Passas
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.
Farmacy. Farmacies in Greece have a specific schedule. During working hours 8-14:00am all of them are open (Mon-Frid). In the afternoon and weekends only specific according to the area. Is better you contact the reception to find our for you
Sueno Bar is a nice place to visit for your coffee or drink during night. After a long day in the beach we do believe that is a nice place to cheer yourselves . The bar is open until early morning hours....enjoy! The tables are used also for standing on it and DANCING! Usually after 2:00 am greek music starts
In North Chios and shortly after Sykiada village lies the picturesque chapel of Agios Isidoros (St. Isidore). It is a bay with beach with fine pebbles which leads to the chapel.
It is one of the most photographed places on the island. Behind the church there is a bench with seating where you can rest and enjoy the view.
There you will not be able to find anything else. Just the Church and the beautifull scenery.
Petros is one one of the eldest and traditional Pita Souvlaki food stores of Chios. It counts more than 50 years. There you can taste among other shops of course the Greek pita giros and souvlaki. It is open morning hours and then afternoon and late evening. The shop stops around 12-12:30 am every day usually during Summer days and until 11:00 pm the rest days of the year. I am sure you will enjoy it. It is only take away store
Marinos Korakis it is a souvenir stores with many traditional Chios products and liquers. They have their own homemade "spoon sweets" as we call it in Greece. In case you like to buy some small gifts for Friends it is recommended.
Dimitris owns a small traditional store that sells Chios traditional products. Diferrent types of Cheese , liquers, honey, olives and much more plenty variety of products. It is nice to visit. It is recommended.
Lefkathia is a very nice and quite beach special during weekdays (July and August is becoming more crowded), with small pebbles, easy to walk on it, deep clean waters and probably fresh during the most Summer Season. Defently we recommended to our guests. It is sensitive to south wind (waves). around the area you can find umbrellas , beach beds, a nice beach bar and taverna. Enjoy!
The secondary exhibition of the Archaeological Museum of Chios is located on the third floor and is entitled "Psara in Antiquity" It includes the findings of the Mycenaean cemetery of Psara (Archontiki area). It also includes decorated pottery, luxurious beads, gold jewelry, faience and glass paste, figurines shaped Φ and many offerings .

Panagia Krina is a church dedicated to Virgin Mary and is located at central Chios, near Vavyli village.
It was built in the 12th century while a part was added in 18th century.
The church was built by and belonged to two members of the imperial court of Constantinople: Efstathios Kodratos and Eirini Doukaina Pagomeni.
Panagia Krina architecture is that of the octagonal type and resembles the main church (katholicon) of Nea Moni. The great dome is one of the characteristic features of this church.
Most of the interior walls are covered with paintings, the oldest of which are dated to the 13th century. These were not discovered until lately, when parts of newer paintings were detached from the walls.
During the winter time restoration work is being done on the wall paintings. The monument is only open for the public during the summer.

Agia Fotia is a close to Voulamandis House and close to Chios town beach. It ia place that is very common for the local to have their during the week swim. There you can find umbreallas, beach beds , cafe bars and tavernas. You can combine your swim and lunch. Recommend for the ones that have limited time and would like a short trip or for the ones that have overslept and is already late ;-))
Bloom water park is a nice place specially for families with children that would like to spend a day and see their children having fun. Fully organized with umbrellas and bar in house. You can easily spend half a day there. Eat , drink and enjoy. surely coming to an island going to the beach is the most sensible thing to do but we do recommend Bloom as an alternative
if you are looking for an organized beach, Komi is one of the good choices. Karavela has tables by the beach. You may use the sunbeds free of charge. However, it won't be a false choice to spend the day and enjoy the sea at Karavela. We recommend to our guests to visit Karavela and combine a swim to the beautiful beach of Komi. It a nice choice for families too, since parents can enjoy their lunch while their chilldren are playing with the sand of Komi beach !! Good idea ;-)))
