The experience
Chios's relationship with the sea is central to the island's modern identity, and the Maritime Museum brings that story together in one place. Collections on ships, seafaring and maritime life help explain how generations of Chians built international connections far beyond the Aegean. It is a particularly useful visit before exploring the great seafaring communities of Kardamyla and Oinousses.
