Good this morning

Chiopedia recommendation

Early light is the reason to be out: the mosaics at Nea Moni before the coaches, and the incised façades of Pyrgi while the sun still rakes across them.

This afternoon

Chiopedia recommendation

The hours to be under cover or in the sea. Mesta's lanes are roofed over, and the south-coast shingle is deep enough to swim off within a stride of the shore.

Tonight

Chiopedia recommendation

West-facing ground earns its keep at the end of the day: Elinda faces straight into the sunset, and Anavatos is best when the stone goes gold. Chios Town and Vrontados carry the evening after dark.
