On Chios, flavour and taste is a way of communication. Meals are the time when family and friends get together to eat, drink, share, enjoy, and talk. After all, the Greek word “symposium”, a word as ancient as Greece itself, means “drinking in company”. That is why we begin our meals with an ouzo and end them with a mastic liqueur. Take the opportunity to network with your new colleagues from the Conference. Enjoy the entertainment delights that our Greek hosts provide.

Excursion to Mastic Villages / South Chios

 

Tour of Southern Chios, the so-called Mastihochoria (Mastic villages), where mastic thrives and the only area on the island where the mastic bush is grown. Starting from the town of Chios, the first stop is Pyrgi, the largest of the medieval villages and perhaps the most interesting in terms of folklore and anonymous architecture. Our next stop is the medieval village of Mesta, which is characterized as a preserved monument and is one of the best preserved fortified settlements under Genoese rule. Then we reach the port of Mesta, where we will stop for a break. Our next stop will be Armolia, a village with a tradition in pottery. The excursion ends with visit of Emporios, a picturesque small port with the volcano beach -known as Mavra Volia.
