I SPEND 5 DAYS IN CHIOS ISLAND LATELY. IT WAS GREAT. THIS IS NOT A TOURISTIC ISLAND, ITS VERY LAID BACK AND THEREFORE HAS TO OFFER SEVERAL EMPTY BEACHES, WITHOUT PLASTIC CHAIRS AND UMBRELLAS, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I HATE IN A BEACH.
HERE ARE 5 THINGS TO DO IN CHIOS

- COVER YOURSELF WITH PEBBLES, IN BEACH MAVRA VOLIA. IT IS A PERFECT SPA IN A PERFECT BEACH. 2 MAVRA VOLIA BEACHES EXIST ACTUALLY. ONE FOR THE CROWD AND ANOTHER MORE PRIVATE ONE FOR GAY AND ALTERNATIVE PEOPLE, AKA NO SWIM SUIT. I SWAM IN BOTHY, GREEDY ME. AND OH, YOU CAN”T REALLY COVER YOURSELF WITH PEBBLES, SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT FOR YOU.
- EAT AT APOMERO TAVERN. AMAZING FATTENING FOOD AT MARVELOUS PRICES. AMAZING VIEW TOO. SOME ITALIANS HAD ALREADY EATEN ALL THE DOLMADAKIA WHEN WE ARRIVED.
- VISIT SANTA MARKELA BEACH. THERE IS A SPOOKY MYTH ABOUT THIS PLACE, AND A MONASTERY JUST ABOVE THE BEACH, SO A HAUNTING ATMOSPHERE PREVAILS, BUT MAYBE THAT IS ONLY ME THINKING THAT.
-EAT MASTIC FROM CHIOS. THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE IN THE WORLD WHERE MASTIC GROWS. MARVELOUS, THE JAPANESE HAVE ALREADY DISCOVERED IT AND ARE BANANAS ABOUT IT.
- VISIT THE AMAZING VILLAGES MESTA, PYRGI, ANAVATOS, AVGONYMA, THEY ARE UNIQUE IN THE WORLD
