Daskalopetra (Vrondados)

Also known as Vrondados in some brochures, Daskalopetra lies 7 km north of Chios Town and owes its popularity mainly to its location. The water is clean, but the beach is mainly pebbly. Good choice of places to eat with accommodation nearby, and conveniently close to town and airport.

Agia Markella

Between wooded headlands, this curve of pebbly beach is overlooked by the historic convent of Agia Markella, so the beach has been preserved from over-development (and nude bathing is frowned upon). There are a couple of small summer tavernas which operate from late May until September.

Elinda

This calm blue bay on the west coast, near Anavatos, has sand and clear water that is great for snorkeling. It is an excellent place for a swim or a picnic lunch if visiting Anavatos by car – but this is very much a place for true beachcombers, as there are no facilities of any kind.
