Das Eigentum — Aegean Sea
A no-fuss, whitewashed three-star perched on the harbourfront, the Aegean Sea hotel gives you a straightforward base with sea views and a small pool. The lobby feels like a cool, tiled waiting room for island life — efficient front desk, a rack of local maps, and the smell of salt air drifting in. It suits independent travellers or couples who want clean rooms, a quick breakfast, and to spend most of the day out exploring Chios town and the beaches. The USP is location: you're steps from the ferry dock and the main square.
Chroniken von Chios
Chios town has been a port since antiquity, famed for its Genoese walled citadel built in the 14th century when the island was a trading hub for mastic gum. The 1881 earthquake flattened much of the old town, leaving a rebuilt grid of neoclassical houses with wrought-iron balconies and the distinctive black-and-white cobbled 'Kampos' district. Today its identity is split between the UNESCO-listed mastic villages of the south and a workaday ferry port that hums with commuters to Athens and the Turkish coast. The town's contemporary culture is unpretentious: good seafood tavernas, a lively Korais library, and a weekly market that sells everything from local figs to bulk spices.

Vollständiger Chios-Guide →Die besten Monate
June and September offer settled 28–30°C days, calm seas, and the island's beaches — like Mavra Volia or Karfas — without the August crush. July also works but is hotter and busier.
Peak / Festival Surge
August is the peak: Greek holidaymakers flood in, and the town's 'Ouzo Festival' in early August draws crowds. Hotel prices at the Aegean Sea can double or triple from €60/night in June to €150+ in August; book by March if you want a sea-view room.
Budget Schulter Saison
May and October are the budget sweet spots — room rates drop to €40–50/night, temperatures hover at a pleasant 22–25°C, and you'll have the beaches and the Kambos alleys nearly to yourself.
Wetter & Verpackung
Chios gets a strong meltemi wind in July and August, especially on the east coast, so a light windbreaker or pashmina is useful for evening harbour walks. Pack a swimsuit and a pair of sturdy sandals for the pebble beaches like Mavra Volia.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Aegean Sea, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the ground floor (101-103) for ease of access and proximity to the accessible room facilities. These rooms are closest to the lift, which can accommodate a standard wheelchair.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on higher floors (4th floor, rooms 421-427) as they are farthest from the lift and may require a longer wait time. Additionally, guests with mobility issues may find the lift's 80 cm width a challenge.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Aigaiou Street in Chios Town doesn't offer stunning sea views or picturesque views of the surrounding area. However, rooms on higher floors may have a partial view of the town.
Quietest floors
Ground floor (rooms 101-103) is likely the quietest floor, as it's closest to the side door and away from the main street noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Guests can expect some street noise from Aigaiou Street, which is a main thoroughfare. However, the hotel's side door and ramp provide a quiet entry point.
Insider tips

Top-Attraktionen in Chios
💡 Most of the castle is open to wander at any time, but the small mosque inside (the Kria Vrisi) is only open during festivals. Go late afternoon for the best light and fewer people.
💡 Start at the Kampos square (plateia) and walk south along the main road for 15 minutes. Many houses have informative plaques. Best in winter when the trees are full of oranges.
💡 Bring water shoes – the pebbles get hot by midday. Prefer a quieter spot? Walk 200 metres east to the next cove (Emporios beach). No facilities at Mavra Volia, so pack snacks and water.
💡 The monastery itself is free but the small museum nearby costs €2 – worth it for the original artefacts. Dress modestly (no shorts or sleeveless tops for anyone).
💡 Buy the combined ticket with the medieval villages for less than €10. Go early to beat the tour buses from Chios Town.
