Chios’ market has something for every taste!
A stroll along Aplotaria, the charming stone-paved pedestrian street near the port, is all it takes for visitors to find whatever they’re looking for. Clothing boutiques, accessories, jewelry, shoes, gift shops, and food stores offer a wide variety of products and countless choices.

There, one can enjoy a drink at one of the many cafés that line the area around the market. In fact, from the very first moment you arrive at the island and step onto the waterfront (Prokymea), you’ll find a lively strip of cafés, ouzeris, and shops selling local products like mastiha, liqueurs, and traditional spoon sweets.

Chios is also a destination of true gastronomic delight. Whether in the main town or surrounding areas—like the beachside town of Vrontados, the picturesque port of Lagada, cosmopolitan Karfas, or the island’s beautiful villages—there are tavernas and restaurants ready to satisfy even the most refined palates. Fresh fish, traditional meze, and local dishes at reasonable prices are perfectly paired with Chian ouzo or wine.

And when the sun sets, the island’s nightlife awakens. Clubs, cozy tavern-style bars (koutoukia), live music venues, and year-round entertainment spots offer unforgettable evenings—whether it’s summer or winter.

So, let the journey begin… a journey into natural beauty, carefree moments, shopping, relaxation, gastronomy, and fun. A journey to Chios.
