A THREAD IN KALAMOTI’S STORY
Return from the sea with a story
Leave a part of your day for Kalamoti’s lanes and a local meal. A beach visit and an inland village walk offer two different ways to know southern Chios; plan your own transport between them.
The historical connection
Kalamoti’s fertile surroundings, its place in the mastic landscape and its former administrative role help explain its importance within southern Chios. The official Chios guide connects the plain and nearby Apolichnon castle with Genoese defensive planning. Calling it a heart of the Mastichochoria describes these connections: fields, settlement and the organisation of a wider region.
