Karlos of Karlosway Tours took my sister and I on a private tour of Chios. Karlos picked us up at Port and spent the day showing us what we wanted to see and also introduced us to other sights and experiences which are unique to the island. Our visit included the a visit to two medieval villages (Mesta & Pyrgi); two very old and unique monasteries (Nea Moni Byzantine monastery & Agioi Paters cave monastery); a visit to the remains of an old leprosy colony; a stop in an orchard field to learn about the native mastic trees & their resin; a visit to a volcanic beach; and of course a stop at the Chios windmills for a photo op. Along the way we drove through Kampos settlement to see the beautiful old mansions and learn of their history & ties Genoa. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the Perivoli mansion in Kampos and a tasting of Mastiqua lemon water in Mesta. My taste buds highly recommend ! Our tour with Karlos was relaxing and full of local flavor & special sights. Thank you Karlos!

Our guide, Kalros, spoke fluent English and was very knowledgeable, and the tour was very satisfying. Not only did he customize the itinerary to our wishes, but he also suggested some recommended places that we didn't know about, and he dropped us off at the port in time for the ferry boarding. Thanks to him, we had a more fulfilling day than we expected. If we had toured by ourselves, we probably wouldn't have been able to see even half of the sights. If we have the opportunity, we would like to ask him to guide us again.

Tilos boat is the one who departs from Cesme first in the morning and that makes you earn time when you arrive to Chios with the custom. It is same also when you take the 17.00 boat to Cesme.
