Nenitouria

Location

Nenitouria is located 65 kilometers north of the town of Chios and only at about 20 kilometers from the village of Volissos. It is constituted by the union of four communities: Psaros, Kosmados, Hametos and Antrahlias.

When entering the village, visitors are impressed by the dale covered with plane trees and large stones that drown in the gushing waters that brush across their surface in the wintertime. These are the Amanis waters. Also, the mountainside cradles the village enhancing its resemblance to an amphitheatre. Olive trees, pine trees, plane trees, oak trees and bushes surround the village. The picturesque beach of the Nenitouria is approximately 5 kilometers from the village and it is named after the old chapel located on the beach and dedicated to the Saint Aghios Georghios Krasas.

Four peculiarly located and separated districts named Hametos, Psaros, Kosmados and Antrachlias compose the village Nenitouria. The chapel of Panaghia Evagelistria, built on the river side on a dome basis as well as the old wind mills are worth visiting. A very old chapel, St. George, is built at the picturesque beach of the village.

The habitants of Nenitouria are not that many, and most homes are in ruins and uninhabited (the fourth community, Antrahlias, is abandoned). However, although the residents'  homes are scattered across three communities, with the common meeting point the church of Taxiarchis, with the stoned kiosk and the important belfry local.
