The wine store is well-stocked with Greek (and international) wines. This one is a grat find for those looking to bring some local wine back home with them. If unsure, consult the knowledgeable staff who are there to make a timely recommendation. The store closes in the afternoon.

Shopping

Chios is famous for its mastic products, including pure mastic gum and loukoumi sweets, all of which are sold in shops all over the island. It is also known for the best ouzo in Greece, and this high-octane, fennel-flavoured liquor is also on sale everywhere. Pistachio nuts and almonds are also plentiful. In several of the masticochoria villages, including Thimaina, Amolia and Notiochori, local Women’s Associations run folk art shops which sell traditional pottery, embroidery and woven fabrics.
