Hotels near Chios Island National Airport - JKH, Chios

We should have stayed in Chios longer. The sea's are relatively clear and clean and there is so much history on this Ireland that more time would have been great. The airport is also near to most of the touristy places. Great and reasonably priced Food nice people, perfect climate and nice fresh sea air. What else would two people want from a holiday.

If you can swim in the sea - if there are no jellyfish - the sea and the beach are nice and sufficient, but Karfas is a very small city and inadequate. It is much more logical to stay in Chios and travel around by car and make day trips.

The Bahari restaurant was exceptional. The food was delicious. Suitable for the wheelchair. The toilets are perfectly clean. There was a menstrual pad for our use. That is very thoughtful of them. The service was spectacular. The sea view is marvellous. There was a good size of the car park in front of the restaurant.

Kampos is a nice area full of older mansions, many restored for use as bed and breakfast. The mansions typically have high walls, and extensive gardens inside the courtyards, full of trees and flowers. It is generally a quiet area, very quaint, and close to major roads leading south, north, and west, not far from the capital city and the airport. We ate at a variety of establishments, both in the nearby village and on the coast. All had fresh seafood and local dishes and the prices were very reasonable. We didn't find a place anywhere that could be considered a "tourist trap."

This is the island my Mother's family was from many generations ago and so it was important for my son and I to visit. It was not what we expected, it was so much more. It was easy to move around and it was the perfect place to rest, recharge and reconnect with the ghosts of our ancestors as tourists were minimal because it is not a party island and nor should it be. It is a very well - kept secret but had everything we needed and more. Next time we will travel in the shoulder season rather than winter to enjoy the beaches and further explore the history and all the island has to offer.

We liked the beach that we could walk to. The free sun beds if you eat in the restaurants. It wasn't too busy or crowded. The bus service was good to the capital. A relaxed and friendly resort. There was lots of interesting places to visit in the Island.
