Day Trip by Ferry Departing from Çeşme (Ulusoy Port)
Every Friday of the Week
After completing passport and customs procedures, we board our ferry to begin our day trip to Chios Island. After a pleasant journey, we arrive at Chios. After customs clearance, we will give you some free time. During this time, you can explore the city center or enjoy a nice coffee at the cafes along the beach. After the free time, our Turkish guide and bus will be waiting for you at the designated place and time. Our journey starts as we move south from the city center. Our first stop is Armolia Village, known for its mastic trees. Here, our guide shares all the information about how mastic is harvested, produced, and used in carenin. We also visit the workshops famous for ceramic craftsmanship in Armolia, where besides many ceramic products, it is also possible to find local products such as Chios jam, Uzo, wine, and local jams.
After leaving here, we go to a village that we think will really interest you. Mesta Village was built in the Byzantine period in the 14th century and has managed to survive until today. Its narrow streets in a labyrinthine layout and charming village square truly enchant visitors. We walk through the narrow streets of the village with our guide and arrive at the village square. Before giving you a short break, we introduce you to the largest church on the island, the Church of Saint Taxiarchis. Guests who wish can light a candle and make a wish in this church believed to be miraculous. While those who want to relax can have coffee at cafes in the square, others can explore the village.
Later on, we head to Pirgi Village, the largest among the southern villages. Pirgi Village is known for its black and white patterned houses, making it a village like no other. Again, with our guide, we take a walk through the narrow streets of Pirgi, a medieval village. We show you the Church of Agion Apostolon in the village square and the house where Christopher Columbus is said to have lived, then we take a break at a local shop selling local products. Here, you can shop for mastic, Chios jam, Uzo, wine, magnets, and similar items. After leaving Pirgi, we head to Emporios, our last stop where we will have our lunch break.
We arrive at Emporios Bay and have our lunch break at local taverns. Guests who wish can visit the volcanic beach, located approximately 300 meters away. Seeing or swimming in this beach made up of large black stones will surely delight you. After lunch, we start our return journey. We conclude our day trip to the southern part of Chios Island upon returning to the city center.
We gather at the port for departure at 16:00 and our ferry departs at 17:00.
