Pros: Near Moni monastery
Cons: Getting a tour arranged
Khios was the big problem in terms of setting up a tour. All three of the tour companies I found wanted some to full pre-payment in advance, which is a real problem when theres a substantial chance that the weather will not let you tender in. After a lot of emails, our tour company (SunriseTours.gr) accepted a reservation for a full day tour for 7 without requiring any deposit. Due to a tour guide strike in Greece, and some communications problems in emails between our group and Sunrise, this tour fell apart at the last minute, but Sunrise was very flexible in putting together an alternative that covered what we wanted for a very good price. Im glad we could work so well with Sunrise, because we did enjoy our tour of the island, the monastery perhaps more than the Mastic villages, although both were fairly interesting.
