Welcome to Vrontados
The second largest residence of Chios with around 6000 residents, which lies in the east part of the island, invites you on a tour where you will discover the link between the sea, history and tradition.
"…The face of our village looks out over the sea, like the faces of our homes. The boom of the sea and the babbling of the open sea accompany the landsmen to their jobs and the housewives at housekeeping and to all of us, it comes to our sleep and lulls. We never loose sight of the sea, calm rough, smiling, stormy. Around us a high wall, Epos, keeps us under his wing and in front of us we look the wave and the Asia Minor facing us. The sea sweep us round sweet by the seashores, while the silver olives and the green tsikoudies, which cover the whole island, give the impression of one wide plain, shorter and nearest the wave. So, our place lives joint with the sea…"
