Mastichochoria is a small cluster of traditional villages located in the southern part of the Greek island of Chios, specifically in the village of Pyrgi. The area is known for its unique architecture, which features black and white geometric patterns on the facades of the buildings. This style is known as "xysta" and is a result of the use of a local resin called mastic, which is used to fill in the gaps between the stones.
The villages of Mastichochoria are surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills, making it a perfect destination for nature lovers. Visitors can take a stroll through the narrow streets and admire the beautiful architecture, or explore the surrounding countryside on foot or by bike. The area is also home to several small museums and galleries, where visitors can learn about the history and culture of the region.
One of the most popular attractions in Mastichochoria is the medieval castle of Pyrgi, which dates back to the 14th century. The castle is located on a hill overlooking the village and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Visitors can explore the castle's ruins and learn about its history through guided tours.
Another must-see attraction in Mastichochoria is the nearby beach of Mavra Volia. This secluded beach is known for its black pebbles and crystal-clear waters, making it a popular spot for swimming and sunbathing. The beach is surrounded by dramatic cliffs and offers breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea.
Overall, Mastichochoria is a charming and picturesque destination that offers a unique glimpse into the history and culture of Chios. Whether you're interested in architecture, nature, or history, there's something for everyone in this beautiful corner of Greece.
