Chios Mastic Museum

Μουσείο Μαστίχας Χίου

The essential interpretive museum for mastic, linking cultivation techniques to village society, trade, technology and the landscape of southern Chios.

Directions

The Chios Mastic Museum is an excellent first stop before exploring the Mastichochoria. It explains the entire story of mastic, from the schinos tree and the careful summer incision known as kentima to collection, cleaning, trade and the cooperative system that helped shape the villages of southern Chios. The museum's setting within the mastic landscape makes the connection between exhibition and place especially clear.
