While it's not my top choice, this beach is definitely one of the best options for families and young children, as long as it's not affected by strong north winds and meltemias.

The beach in the north of Chios is fantastic, with very clear waters.

Mitilinis-Skopelou VIII

The Peramas Geras windmill is located just outside the Papados settlement of Geras, directly facing the Surlaga tannery. Historically, it was used to grind oak for the tannery's purposes.

Saint Barbara beach

10 Freddy

The tomato sauce is absolutely fantastic. It's hands down the best I've ever had at a restaurant. The host is incredibly charming and clearly has a deep love for both his restaurant and his tomatoes.

Agios Dynami beach

10 Alessio Marino.

This stunning beach boasts yellow sand and unique pebbles that create a breathtaking hue. A charming stone church sits atop the beach, providing a serene spot for reflection and contemplation. While the beach is not organized, a quaint cafe on the road leading to it offers essentials and a fascinating cave exhibit. Without a doubt, this is one of the most impressive beaches in Chios.
