Are you ready to take a journey into the past in ancient medieval villages and explore the entire island with a professional team?

TOUR PROGRAM

DAY 1: MARMARIS-ÇEŞME TRANSFER-ÇEŞME-CHOSEN CATAMARAN JOURNEY-CASES-VOUNAKİ SQUARE-NORTH ISLAND TOUR-HOTEL

We meet our valued guests at Eşref Girginç Park (across from LC Waikiki) at 02:00 and set off towards Çeşme Port, the departure point of Çeşme-Chios trips.

We reach Çeşme Ulusoy Port around 08:00 in the morning and after ticket and passport controls, we board our ferry. After our journey that will last about half an hour, we reach the island and meet our guide. After customs procedures, we load our suitcases into our waiting vehicle and start exploring Chios Island, the hidden treasure of the Aegean.

Together with our guide, we see the Chios market called Aploterya, the Mecidiye Mosque built by Sultan Abdulmecid, and Vounaki Square, the largest and busiest square on the island of Chios. Afterwards, we visit the Chios Castle, which was built during the Byzantine period but later became the administrative center of the island during the Genoese and Ottoman periods, and examine the Ottoman works inside.

After the visits in the center, we start our tour of the North Island. Our first stop will be the 4 windmills called Tabakika, which stand out as one of the most important symbols of the island on every platform. The historical windmills' duty was to draw water to the tanneries that gave their name to the region. In recent years, they have been restored with the contributions of the municipality and have become a memorable point that all tourists visiting the island do not leave without seeing. After our photo break here, we continue our tour. Our next stop will be Daskalopetra, the region where Homer, the most famous poet of Chios in ancient times, contributed his works Iliad and Odyssey to world literature. A large rock that was turned into a school by his students in the 6th century BC. This beautiful memorial point will make you question the lifestyle of thousands of years ago and the understanding of art of that period. Then we move on to Langada, the cutest fishing village of the island, where we will have our lunch break. In the classic Greek taverns (restaurants) by the sea, you will have the opportunity to taste traditional meze and classic dishes of Greek cuisine as well as the freshest seafood. On the way back, we take a photo break at the church of Agios Isidoros on the sea, one of the symbolic points of the island. It is said that the story of Mastic started with this Saint. After completing our visits within the scope of the North Island tour, we go to our hotel. (CHOSON ACCOMMODATION) 4* Chandris Hotel / Diana Hotel

DAY 2: SOUTH ISLAND TOUR-ARMOLIA-MESTA-PYRGI VILLAGES-FREE LUNCH -CHOSON PORT-ÇEŞME JOURNEY-ÇEŞME-MARMARIS TRANSFER

After breakfast, we take our place in our vehicle and start our tour towards the villages in the south of the island called Mastihahoria, which has the monopoly on mastic production in the world. Our first stop on our tour is Armolia Village, famous for its handmade ceramics for hundreds of years, and we take a short break to visit one of the famous ceramic workshops. Then, we move on to the labyrinth village of Mesta, one of the other popular villages on the island. You will get lost in time during our tour in this ancient medieval village, famous for its magnificent medieval architecture and Taksiarhis Church, one of the most important and magnificent churches of Chios. Like other villages, this village, which was built to protect against pirate attacks, has only two entrances and exits. In case of danger, these doors were closed and security was ensured in this way. After our tours, we reach the village square and have a coffee break. Then we set off towards the fairytale Pyrgi Village. Pyrgi Village is the most frequented place for tourists visiting the island with its narrow streets bearing traces of the Middle Ages, houses built adjacent to each other to protect against pirate attacks and colored with a special plaster technique. We think you will be amazed by the geometric patterned houses of this village, where you will feel like you are traveling in time. After completing our village visits within the scope of the South Island tour, we go to a tavern by the sea for lunch. Here, our guests can choose what they want from the menu consisting of various seafood and appetizers.

Thus, our Chios Island program is completed and we set off to board our ferry to Chios Port. After our journey, which will take approximately half an hour, we return to Çeşme Port. After completing our passport procedures, we meet our vehicle and captain waiting for us at the port. With the happiness of having had a different experience and discovering another different island, we set off on our way back to Marmaris and reach Marmaris at midnight. We leave you at the points where we picked you up and say goodbye until we meet on other tours.

NOTE: A SCHENGEN VISA or DOOR VISA is required for the program. Our guests with a service passport (green passport) do not need to obtain a visa. Our company also provides a ‘Visa Acquisition Service’. You can contact us for detailed information.
