writes from Chios, Greece
Chios (Hios) is the fifth largest of the Greek islands, situated in the Aegean Sea. The island is noted for its strong merchant shipping community, its unique mastic gum and its medieval villages. The eleventh century monastery of “Nea Moni”, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located in the island.
The rich Chios history, the various monuments and the crystal-clear beaches are just few of the things that makes Chios a unique place among other islands.
Today Chios (Chora, as it is known locally) is the capital of the prefecture and has approximately 25.000 inhabitants.

Χίος η μυρωδιά του ΑιγαίουΓράφει από τη Χίο η
Γιολάντα Αντωνίου
Νησί του Αιγαίου η Χίος είναι ταυτισμένη με τα αρώματα. Στο μυαλό έρχονται αμέσως η μαστίχα, γλυκό μανταρίνι από τον Κάμπο και ανθισμένες νεραντζιές. Το νησί της Χίου κατοικήθηκε από τα βάθη των αιώνων και οι παλαιότερες ενδείξεις προέρχονται από την Πρώιμη Εποχή του Χαλκού. Σημαντικό ρόλο αρχίζει να διαδραματίζει στην Ιστορία της Χίου η εγκατάσταση των Ιόνων γύρω στο 1100 π.Χ.
Μιχάλης, Δήμητρα, Δημήτρης και Γιολάντα.
Το νησί της μαστίχας και του Ομήρου απέκτησε στην πορεία της μέσα στους αιώνες υπέροχα μνημεία που μαρτυρούν τη μακραίωνη ιστορία της και τη συμβολή της στον πολιτισμό, τη ναυτιλία και το εμπόριο, από την αρχαιότητα μέχρι σήμερα.
Δημήτρης, Δήμητρα, Μιχάλης και Γιολάντα.
Η πλούσια ιστορία, το πλήθος των μνημείων και οι κρυστάλλινες παραλίες είναι μόνο μερικοί από τους λόγους που κάνουν τη Χίο μοναδική και ξεχωριστή ανάμεσα στα άλλα νησιά.
Ο Γιώργος και η Γιολάντα.
Γραφικά χωριά της και τις όμορφες, ηλιόλουστες παραλίες κατά μήκος του νησιού.
Σιδέρης, Μιχάλης, Ανδρέας, Δήμητρα και Γιολάντα.
Η Χίος της αγάπης και του ονείρου.
Η Γιολάντα και ο Νίκος.

Την άνοιξη, εδώ οι βόλτες είναι πραγματικά ατελείωτες!.jpg)

Great Place man...
Tell me, are those windmills or do they just look like windmills?!
All the photos are wonderful and of great interest to me. But what I am most impressed with is the beauty of each and every young person in these photos. Truly exquisitely beautiful and handsome people one and all! And you look like you all appreciate one another for the good inside also. I wish you all a wonderful and peaceful future.
@ magiceye. Most of the Greek islands are well known for their natural beauty and history!
@ Joops. I thank you Joops!
@ sailor. Great place indeed, especially for sailors...
@ Lydia. Once upon a time were windmills. They were reconstructed and are 'monuments' in fact. Thank you so much for your kind comments and wishes Lydia. You are an extraordinary personality and I appreciate a lot your thoughts! Kind regards, Philip.
A dear freind from Argentina stopped by in Paris on her way back to Buenos Aires .. and she was coming from Cyprus .. all magic tales about the beaches, the people, the food .. I have to go - to Cyprus and to this beautiful Greek island you tell us about today!
