Chios Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
Drop anchor here in the main harbor of Chios town, just a short dinghy ride from a bustling port capital full of neoclassical architecture, lively tavernas, and a medieval Genoese castle. You're sitting barely 8 km off the Turkish coast, with the lights of Çeşme visible across the water on clear nights — one of the more striking settings in the Aegean. The town itself has solid provisioning, waterfront cafés, and easy access to the island's famous mastic villages inland.
