Chios. This Aegean island has connected its name with a unique aroma. That of mastic. The tears of lentisk, as people call the natural gym resin that comes out of this tree, is the trademark of Chios.

Even though this sweet-scented Aegean island owes its fame to mastic, it gains visitors with its unseen natural beauties and architecture that takes them back to past times. The coexistence of yesterday with today, of old with new and the eagerness of every traveler to sense everything in the ultimate level, make Chios the ideal destination for those seeking for an adventurous holiday to heighten senses.

Touring around the island can be really intriguing, as it passes you through green pine forests, endless pieces of land with mastic trees and running waters. And if sea saltiness brings you to the coast, be ready to succumb in the temptation of Aegean sirens. The rare beauty you will see before your eyes will stay forever in your mind. Golden shores, colorful pebbles, strange-shape rocks and deep blue sea compose this Aegean paradise.
