This medieval village, an architectural jewel of the island, is 25 km from the town of Chios. It is a highly fortified area with stone houses built next to each other, alleys and narrow cobblestone streets and many churches. It is considered a protected monument as it survived the earthquake of 1881 and it is almost unchanged since the day it was built. The high walls of the houses are decorated with geometrical patterns (engraved on the fresh plaster) called "ksysta". This is a technique of Chios which became famous in 1965.

These beaches are located in the southwestern part of the island, 5 km from Mesta (going from Limenas to Elata). They look alike as indicated by their name and they have small white pebbles and turquoise waters.

Nagos Beach is located in the northern part of the island of Chios, 5 km from Kardamyla. It is a small pebbly beach which attracts many visitors. The water is crystal clear and very cold because of the natural springs that exist in the region. The area has rooms to let and taverns well known for their delicious seafood.
