  • Let me give you a picture: I come here at noon, I find a free umbrela, I order a cold frappe' coffee / iced tea / beer, I sit on the chair solving crosswords / reading magazines / reading books or just doing nothing at all and whenever I feel hot I dive into the sea.

    The sea: sandy beach - crystal clear water (It's the first time I saw that! Usually sand gives a moody impression). In the afternoon, when the sun is bent a bit, you may even see your shadow at the bottom of the sea, even in dip water.

    Then you get out of the sea, for more iced drinks, and doing nothing.

    And then again in the sea.

    And the night comes, so you order a gin and tonic instead :D

    Things To Do: Emporios: a great place to stay

  • I should mention here that, until now, this tip was under the "off the beaten path" section. BUT I realised afterwards that Emporios is not really off the beaten path in August, so I choose to move this tip for you (and lost all these magnificent ratings, if this is not a sacrifice then what is?). My advice, visit the place in July.

    It's like a dream if you like something relaxing. Check my relevant accomodation tip, the photo!!!

    Can you believe this place???

    The sea is good, people were swimming but we, as others too, preffered to go to the more touristy nearby beach of Komi (2 minutes by car). So we enjoyed our relaxation away from the crowds while sleeping, resting, dinning and we had the "tourist" part as well.

    Emporios has some seafood tavernas, where we enjoyed fresh fish just beside the sea.

     Thank you so much Maria for your kind remarks about my Chios tips. I see you have a new member of your family! Na Sou Zisi! There is plenty of time to sleep when you get old:):) Enjoy the summer!

     Very nice intro to Chios. And you're right - "sleeping like a baby" is a fairy tale!
