3Chios

Chios is a Greek island like no other. With an extraordinary history dating back to Neolithic times, it claims to be the birthplace of Homer; it is also the world’s only commercial producer of mastic and is famous for its unusual fortified villages.  

There’s a beach to suit your every whim, too, from the black sand of Mavra Volia to the white sand wonder of Elinta or the historic Daskalopetra, where it is said Homer used to sit on a stone and teach.
