Chios has a large number of hotels of all different catagories as well as rooms to rent. Its just a matter of deciding where you want to stay. In Chios-town I stayed at the Chandris Hotel which is probably about as good as it gets, at least in town. Terrific view, nice breakfast, a pool, Greek music nights on Friday with a buffet dinner, good air-conditioning and within walking distance of just about anywhere in town. Right next door is the Hotel Kyma, formerly the Livanos Mansion, built in 1917 and much expanded in the last few years. This is a family run hotel with nice view of the sea, but not the port since it is located behind the Chandris which is the biggest and tallest building in town. Its a C-catagory so it will be a lot cheaper than the Chandris and if you can live without the pool you can stay here and not have to walk much further. Another upscale hotel is the Grecian Castle which is a large mansion with a swimming pool on the outskirts of Chios-town. In Campos the Argentikon Luxury Suites have been recognized as one of the 100 Best Villas in the World I guess by Conde Naste or one of those kinds of magazines or maybe it's a club or something. Regardless, it is hard to doubt that it is one of the 100 best villas, hotels or anything. The former mansion of the Argenti Family from Genoa, if it was not available as a hotel they could sell tickets just to visit it like the Biltmore House. In Mesta I highly recommend a couple places. For those who don't mind spending a little extra for comfort try the Medieval Castle Suites, a Hotel complex that combines all modern facilities with the experience of living in a 14th Century village. If you want something more simple but no less pleasant then Anna Floradi Apartments has studios for two or four people, with kitchenette, air-conditioning, refrigerator, running hot water, private bathroom, satelite TV and central heating fore the winter months. We stayed here and they were fine. In Emporio we stayed at the Emporio Bay Hotel which was clean, friendly, a 2 minute walk from the beaches, tavernas and the shops, had a really nice swimming pool and a lot of nice people who came back year after year, always a good sign. This is probably your best bet if you want to stay on or near the sea. If big resort hotels are your thing then Golden Sand Hotel is a Catagory A located on the sandy beach of Karfas, 7 km from the center of the town of Chios and 4 km from the airport. Built on 3 acres of waterfront property it has an Olympic sized swimming pool and 108 airconditioned rooms. The Golden Odyssey Hotel on Kontari beach, a few miles closer to Chios-town has a swimming pool and a Chinese Restaurant. Its hard to beat that combination I suppose. You can see these and other hotels at www.hotelsofgreece.com but as anyone who has used my websites knows, I recommend booking hotels and ferries through a reliable Greek travel agency wh can keep things running smoothly, which in Greece often don't. Hahathakis Travel in Lesvos can book hotels on Chios as well as Lesvos and any of the islands in Greece, Athens, trips to Turkey, ferries, flights and tours. |
