Local Area
Aris apartments are situated in the lower part of the village and are ideally situated for all the amenities Volissos has to offer. This is a traditional village where local life is relaxed and easy going. The main square, which is in the lower part of the village is about a 2 minute walk from the property, through a series of narrow, sometimes steep, cobbled lanes. There is a taverna that opens at 4am for the early morning fishermen and closes when the last person leaves. There is an internet café, bank, butcher, baker, post office, pharmacy, two grocery stores and a number of restaurants. The new harbour area, which is about 2kms from Volissos offers a chic alternative where there are a number of very good restaurants and bars spilling onto the harbour front. This island is excellent for cycling, walking, birdwatching, relaxing, and numerous wonderful beaches. The extraordinary village of Anavatos built into the side of the mountain is definitely worth a visit, along with other fascinating historic places of interest and the unique Medieval Mastichoria villages in the Southern part of the island. Approximately 1.5 hrs drive away is Chios town, with its busy harbour and lively nightlife. It is not unusual around Volissos to see the local people walking with their donkeys, harvesting their crops and it is common to be flagged down by an elderly person to give them a lift!!

Directions

Another route is to take a charter flight to the neighbouring island of Samos then the ferry.
