Overview
Unlike many resort towns in this region, 脟别艧尘别 has retained a local population and flavour. Only 8km from the Greek island of Chios (Sak谋z), the town has a long seafront perfect for promenading, a magnificent castle built by the Genoese and a bustling merkez (commercial centre) with plenty of shops and cheap eateries. Popular with weekending 陌zmiris and with those who balk at the high prices and style overload at nearby Ala莽at谋, it's an excellent base for exploring the region.
