Short Reviews On Resorts & Hotels In Chios, Greece

One of the thousand Greek islands is Chios, situated in Aegean Sea at approximately 4 miles (6.5 kilometers) distance from Asia's Minor shore. The most important landmark of Chios is the Nea Mony monastery, built in the 11^th century by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine IX. The monastery is located right in the heart of the island in the so-called Interior region and is decorated with beautiful mosaics, a reason to have been declared a World Heritage Site. Chios has four more regions to which it is divided - the Northern Region, the West Coast, the Southern Region and the East Coast, where is also the island's main settlement - the town of Chios - and most hotels and resorts. The hills and mountains abound on the island, with mountain Pelineon being the highest at 4,255 feet (about 1,297 meters).

Through the few deluxe hotels on the island is the Chios Chandris, which is located in the town of Chios. The hotel is settled on the seashore and offers more than a hundred rooms, all providing balconies and splendid panorama towards the picturesque harbor. Air conditioning, mini-bars, Internet service as well as a swimming pool are also available. In Karfas Bay, just at 6 miles (almost 10 kilometers) distance from the town of Chios, tourists will find that the Hotel Sea and View Resorts & Spa may as well be the perfect place to spend a vacation on Chios. The resort complex includes 17 suites, comprising fully equipped kitchens, living rooms, elegantly decorated bathrooms and bedrooms.

For visitors that would like to spend their holiday a bit further from the glamour of the big and fancy hotels there are many smaller places, some of which are in more secluded areas, others conveniently situated in the town of Chios. A place with top location and very reasonable prices is the Sea Breeze Hotel Apartments Chios in the area of Agios. It is a complex that consists solely of suites with soundproof rooms, nearby shops and a swimming pool on-site. The surrounding olive tree groves and the sea views create an authentic Greek atmosphere. In Kambos, which is an area of Chios with old mansions and castle walls, is located the Manganos Hotel - an elegantly arranged accommodation offering family rooms, free Internet service and the most charming garden.
