Volissos Chios sits in the northwest part of the island, about 40 km away from Chios Town. The village rests among olive groves and provides an authentic and quiet escape from busy tourist spots.

On the hilltop, a large Byzantine castle dominates the landscape. Visitors can explore the castle ruins, walk along thick stone walls, and climb several towers. From there, breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and countryside unfold. 

Moreover, Volissos features narrow cobblestone streets lined with whitewashed houses. Small shops, tavernas, and cafés create a welcoming environment. Locals greet visitors with warmth and hospitality. Additionally, markets offer fresh local produce, homemade cheeses, and traditional sweets.

Near the village, several beautiful beaches invite visitors to swim and relax. Managros and Limnos Beaches lie just a few kilometers away. They offers calm, clear waters and soft sandy shores. Furthermore, many combine their visit to Volissos with nearby attractions such as the Monastery of Agia Markella, the island’s patron saint(celebrated July 22nd), the abandoned settlement of Palia Potamia and Agio Gala Cave.

Volissos Chios also hosts traditional festivals during the summer months. These events showcase local culture, music, and cuisine. For example, the Feast of Saint Panteleimon takes place inside the castle walls. This celebration attracts both locals and tourists, creating a lively and memorable experience.

Visitors can find accommodation in small guesthouses and family-run hotels. Most lodging options maintain a simple and rustic charm. Since public transport options remain limited, travelers usually arrive by car or taxi.
