Kampos

The traditional settlement of Kampos, one of the most beautiful areas of Chios, which combines harmoniously the natural landscape particular architecture, is located at the centre of the island, on the eastern coast. It flourished a lot, since it was here that the Genoese built their towers in the 14th century and later the aristocrats of Chios their mansions. Its unique atmosphere was created by the impressive mansions, the elaborate marble paved yards, the cisterns and the traditional wells, the narrow alleys, the numerous churches, the green meadows with the flowers and the famous citrus trees, which transport visitors to the nobility and wealth that the island possesses in the previous centuries.
