Taste ChiosCHIOS · A PLACE TO DISCOVER
Kampos pairs historic mansions with citrus-growing estates. Explore the public lanes, then seek out an estate open to visitors for a closer look at this side of Chios.
GOOD TO KNOW
Gardens are often private; arrange visits and tastings directly with each host.
Make it part of your day.
Make the contrast with Kalamoti part of the pleasure: move from compact village lanes to the architecture of estates and gardens. Choose an estate that explicitly welcomes visitors if you would like to go beyond the public roads. Combine the outing with time in Chios Town or a coastal stop, leaving room for an unhurried visit.

A THREAD IN KALAMOTI’S STORY
An island journey, a village perspective
Use this stop to broaden your picture of Chios, then return to Kalamoti’s own architectural story. Allow travel time and opening hours to shape the day; distant sights deserve an unhurried visit.
The historical connection
The 1881 earthquake and subsequent rebuilding changed Kalamoti. Chios’s official guide identifies later influences from Chios Town and Kampos in doors and windows. Look at the village as a succession of building periods: the medieval layout survives alongside later choices, repairs and additions.
