Karfas Beach

The beach is sandy and ideal for young children, being shallow in many parts.It is about  7 km outside the town of Chios. The most famous beach of the island and possibly the most well-organized beach for tourists.

 

Lagada

The village lies in a gorge, hence the name Lagada, highlighting its natural position. At the edge of the port of  Lagada , there’s a pebble beach called Fanaraki, most visited during the summer.

 

Agios Isidoros

Crystal waters inviting you to dive, quiet and beautiful seaside views. The St Isidoros picturesque church dominates the area, adding a special local color to the creek.

 

Lithi

The sandy beach, the crystal clear waters and the fresh fish of the region attract more and more visitors each year. There are three caves in the area, not yet adequately explored.

 

Mesta village

Thousands of visitors come to Mesta every year, trying to live even for a moment, a tale of the past …as the settlement is quite medieval, consisted of an internal maze of cobbled narrow streets. A walk around here is a truly unique experience due to this particular unusual architecture.
