A pretty town whose houses are decorated with carved and painted patterns called graffito.

The village of Pyrgi is a very unique village. The residents decorate their buildings is dark grey and while geometric designs which are quite interesting and time consuming to create. I have never encountered a place like this anywhere else in Greece. Pyrgi is very quaint, with typical Greek village scenery and an opportunity to take some neat pictures. The people are friendly and there are several restaurants where you can eat or get a drink. If you are touring Chios island it is well worth your time to drive to Pyrgi.

A beautiful 11th century Byzantine monastery decorated with mosaics and relics.

I have a summer home in Chios and all though I have travelled back and forth the last summers I never made the time to go visit this beautiful historic Monastery. I had studied history of art in school and College and done tones of reading about the Byzantine empire had visited both Constantinople (Istanbul) and Mesta and left the 3rd most iconic Byzantine site even if it was there close all along. It’s beautiful and unique although not very big and with a very small museum that operates little hours it was magical to see the architecture. Highlight was the amazing marble monastery build in table! And the amazing view of all the island of Chios. Definitely worth a stop on your way to the west side beach’s of the island. We made it into a road trip and got to visit Agia Markella on the same day!

You can’t help but look at the beautiful church on the rocks as you approach Petra from road or sea. We made a special visit from Molyvos to climb the steps and visit the pretty church and courtyard. Lovely views from the top. Definitely worth seeking out if in the area.

The site was identified and excavated by Winifred Lamb from 1929 to 1933 and there were further excavations 2004‐2008. The site is free to enter and is open all year. We were also given a free 16 page guide written in English. The developers of the site have very kindly provided shaded areas to view the site and read the informations boards.There is also a seminar room where you can view a film about the site and see some nice models of what the village might have looked like.

Oldest European city and harbor.Old as 5th millennium BC preceding Troy I.Surrounded by stone walls secured people inside.You can see streets public buildings,square houses, shops,wells proving that it was an organized society. Excavations show that it was abandoned after 2dn millenium BC probably due to fierce earthquakes.
