What to see during the holiday season

A standout attraction is the illuminated Argentiko Mansion in Kampos, which transforms into a sparkling wonderland each year with thousands of lights. Visitors can stroll through the festive grounds and enjoy the magical atmosphere, accompanied by music and local celebrations that bring holiday cheer to life.

In Thymiana Village, the holiday spirit takes on a creative twist with “Plekto” knitted decorations. The entire village is adorned with colorful, handmade knits that cover trees, lampposts, and public spaces. This community-driven display adds warmth and charm, reflecting the islanders’ artistry and festive enthusiasm.

Chios’s maritime heritage shines through in the tradition of decorating small boats (karavakia) instead of just Christmas trees. These illuminated vessels, found in homes and squares, symbolize the island’s deep connection to the sea and add a unique flair to the holiday season.

The streets come alive with the sound of “kalanda” carol singing, as children visit homes on Christmas and New Year’s Eves. Their songs, accompanied by triangle bells, spread joy and preserve an age-old custom that visitors will find enchanting.

Local Christmas markets offer holiday treats such as “melomakarona” (honey cookies) and “kourabiedes” (almond shortbread), alongside crafts and festive goods. Midnight Mass services in beautifully decorated churches provide a meaningful spiritual experience.

Staying with us means immersing yourself in the traditions, warmth, and charm of Chios during the holiday season. Book your stay now!
