A short historical note on Chios
Chios lies in the Northern Aegean Sea with its port exactly opposite Cesme, a coastal port city in Turkey. It is the fifth largest island in Greece, covering an area of 842 km2 with a 213 km long coastline. Chios has been and remains the one and only mastiha (mastic gum) producer globally, and to be more exact, the “white gold” as it is also called is produced only in the south of the island. It is considered the four-season island -still a quiet, serene touristic destination. The shipping industry continues to be the main financial pillar. The actual regional unit of Chios also comprises Psara, Antipsara and Oinousses. Around three daily flights connect it to Athens and Thessaloniki or, by boat, to and from Piaraeus, Thessaloniki and Kavala -as well as with other Greek islands, especially in the summer season.
