ITINERARY | GREECE<br />
STAGE 1<br />
Chios<br />
<strong>The</strong> fifth largest of the Greek Islands, Chios<br />
actually lies close to the Turkish coast. Its fame<br />
as an exporter of mastic gum probably isn’t<br />
relevant to your holiday but its beautiful 11th<br />
century monastery Nea Moni, a UNESCO<br />
World Heritage Site, will be. <strong>The</strong> stunning<br />
mosaics that still remain are among the best<br />
in all of Greece.<br />
Chios has all the Instagram-winning views<br />
you could hope for, including a picturesque<br />
medieval castle and villages, heavily decorated<br />
buildings, cosy little bays and whitewashed<br />
houses scattered down the hillside.<br />
WHERE TO STAY<br />
<strong>The</strong> Argentikon Luxury Suites - named one<br />
of the top 100 villas in the world - reflects<br />
the rich history of Chios. Built in the 16th<br />
century by the Genoese Argenti family,<br />
today, the mansion has just eight luxury<br />
suites, all with period furniture but the latest<br />
technology. Relax in the formal gardens - an<br />
authentic legacy of its Genoese founders - or<br />
indulge in the in-room massage and beauty<br />
treatments. www.hhe.travel/argentikon<br />
