North Chios Day Tour – A Unique Blend of Wine, Nature & Wellness in North Chios

Location: Northern Chios (Volissos – Egrigoros – Agiasmata)

Duration: Full-day experience

Suitable for adults

Discover a rare combination of local wine culture, scenic landscapes, and deep relaxation on this immersive day tour through Northern Chios. The experience includes a visit to a winery, a nature walk through lush valleys, free time by the sea, and rejuvenation at the thermal baths of Agiasmata.

1. Optional Stop: Volissos Archaeological Collection. 

The day may begin with a visit to the Volissos Archaeological Collection, housed in a beautifully restored historic building. The exhibition traces the history of Ariousios wine, a renowned local wine of Chios. It is organised into three thematic sections: the trade and distribution of amphorae and drinking cups, the worship of Dionysus, and the vessels used at symposia and other social and religious events.

The entrance is free, but a 7-day notice is required to visit the museum. 

2. Ariousios Winery – Cellar Tour & Wine Tasting

At Ariousios Winery, the only visitable winery on Chios, guests enjoy a guided tour of the underground cellar, where wines mature in French oak barrels. Special attention is given to the flagship wine, “Ariousios,” an aged wine crafted with care.

Wine tasting is optional (€10 per person) and purchases can be securely stored for later collection.

3. Nature Walk & Botanical Flavours

The experience continues with a scenic downhill hike through a shaded valley lined with pine trees, cypress, chestnut, mulberry, and seasonal fruit trees. The air is rich with the aromas of oregano, balsam (St. John’s Wort), and native herbs. The trail passes small chapels, stone-paved paths, wildflowers and orchids—especially vibrant in spring—before revealing panoramic views of the untouched Eftychia Beach in Egrigoros.

Depending on the season, guests may taste:

• Wild asparagus
