Emborios (Chios) Slideshow Emborios is perhaps the oldest settlement on the island of Chios, with excavations showing inhabitation since early neolithic times. The plain behind the harbour (now fruit and vegetable gardens) show ideal conditions for the settlements. A rare life-sized marble statue of a youth dating to the mid-sixth century BC was found in March 2004 and is on view in the Chios Museum. There is a path up to the temple of Athena ruins (on the hill to the left of the picture). For the more adventurous, the church at the top can be reached from the Komi side and there are many walks (beach, hill and mountain) using the still used masticha collection routes. Accommodation Details

The harbour at Emborios: In the summer, there are four tavernas to choose from, and enough sailing boats to make the view wonderful whilst you enjoy them. Out of season, the tavernas gradually close though you can visit the other tavernas just a short drive away (between 2 and 5 Km).

Mavro Volios: There are two distinct beach areas after the harbour, the first about 300m along the road, the path to the second is at the end of the first and over a short stepped cause-way leading to the kilometre of coves and rocky cliffs, all with the clearest of water and the famous black pebbles.
