A Medieval Labyrinth:

The Beautiful Village of Mesta in Chios

One of the most beautiful, remote and well-preserved villages on the island of Chios is Mesta, which combines medieval architecture with impressive natural surroundings.

The village, 35 kilometers from the main town of Chios, has been declared a preserved medieval monument and its appearance, reminiscent of a fortress, has remained unchanged over the centuries.

​

​

The houses were built one right next to the other, thereby creating a protective wall surrounding the village. It is a castle!

The streets are cobbled and narrow, creating a kind of labyrinth.
