Hi,
I arrive by ferry in Chios and from here I want tot arrive to Agia Markella monastery.

Can you tell me if there are buses or other public transportation possibilities?

What shall I do to get to Agia Markella monastery or Volissos?

Greetings / Elena

I will be with my bf in Chios from 18 Aug to 27 Aug. We like to stay in a place that is central and fun for night time, but not to noisy or commerical, and sitting out in the morning. Chios town seems not so pretty and a little commerical - not beautiful like other port towns (like Syros town, or Symi town). Kombos looks appealing and so does Mesta, but are they too quiet - no restaurants for night, etc, or would we need to drive to Chios town?

My husband and I are traveling to Chios for one day, off a cruise ship in November. We are in our early 60's and well traveled (never been on a cruise before) We do not usually like group tours, so we thought of going off on our own. How do we get around the island to visit the villages? I am particularly interested in local arts, textiles, and folk traditions. Of course we both love local food.
How do we hire a driver for the day? What villages do you think we should visit and where should we stop for a good local meal?
Any suggestions welcomed.

Hi all,

The ktel.org website is down. Anybody has the bus schedules (city and provincial buses) for May (winter schedules I guess).

Many, many thanks.
