LAGOS a Characterful Stone House for 8-10 people

Ta Petrina's Lagos House lies below the castle of the village. This is a large stone built house which due to its layout can easily accommodate a large group of people or two families on holiday together. The house has been completely renovated in keeping with the feel of an old traditional stone house. It is very spacious, comfortable, safe for children and well equipped. If you are looking for a sterile modern resort hotel room with power showers, TV and the like, then this is not for you. On the other hand, if you are looking for a charming, 200 year old stone built house with a touch of romance, filled with artefacts, books and memories of the past, then this house just could be it! Of course LAGOS has wifi, air conditioning and the essential amenities you need to make your stay enjoyable. LAGOS can be separated into two houses, each having their own living room/kitchen, or can be connected to make a large comfortable holiday home. On several levels the house has two bedrooms with double beds, a twin bedroom with two single beds and a loft above it with another two single beds. An extra bed (or two) can easily be put in the loft, something children always find great fun. There are three bathrooms, one has a bath and washing machine while the other two have showers. There is also an outside shower. The bedrooms have air conditioning and/or floor fans. As a whole the house has two living rooms/kitchens each leading out onto their own terrace with views to the mountains or the Aegean Sea. The two living rooms have ceiling fans. Each kitchen has a cooker, fridge, kettle, coffee maker and toaster. In fact everything you need to cook at home if you so wish. Bedding and towels, including towels for the beach are provided also a baby cot and high chair if needed. You can park a car quite close to the house, free of charge. From LAGOS you can walk down to the centre of the village (10 min) where you will find a choice of several tavernas, cafes, and shops. LAGOS can also be an ideal retreat for remote workers, digital nomads or writers; for longer rentals the price is negotiable. The house is fully licensed by the GTO (Greek Tourist Organisation). Volissos is built on a hill nestling underneath a Genoese castle looking out south across the blue waters of the Aegean. As you sit on your terrace enjoying the mountains slowly turning pink in the last rays of the sun, or as you wander around the village as it winds down from the castle, you quickly realize that Volissos is still very much a traditional village. It is 2 km from the little harbour/marina of Limnia and the nearest beaches of Lefkathia and Limnos, both of which have a beach bar (the use of the umbrellas and sun loungers are free). Just a little further away is the 6 km long Managros beach, where it is always easy to find a quiet spot to enjoy the crystal clear waters of the Aegean sea. Apart from these, whichever way you go up or down the coast, there are numerous beaches to choose from. Volissos lies on the north west coast of the island of Chios, 40 km from the main town, port and airport. The village has two mini markets, a butcher, a baker and even a candle maker. A green grocer comes around three times a week selling produce out of the back of his pickup though you can find fruit and vegetables in the local shops. Also local fishermen come around with the catch of the day. There is a Pharmacy, Post Office, Police Station and ATM machine. Volissos has a small clinic with a doctor always available 24/7. I can help to arrange car/jeep/scooter or a bicycle rental on request. A bus service runs 3 times a week between Volissos and Chios town. Chiots are passionate and live life to the fullest, even at difficult times. The result is an island seemingly riddled with challenges, yet full of people loving life. Chios is still one of the most unspoiled islands in Greece. I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised by Chios and the village of Volissos.
