Lithi

Location

The village of Lithi (Lithimena) reaches four kilometers away from Vessa (at a distance of 23 km from the town of Chios). Its name comes probably from the attribute of "Alithis limin" (true heaven), and were the travelers those who gave this name to the village.

Lithi is the birthplace of Andreas Syngros, whose family house can still be seen , of Agios Nektarios, the bishop of Pentapolis, and of his nephew, the self-taught painter Kefalas.

The village is famous for its excellent fish since the local population consists mainly of fishermen who can usually be seen repairing their nets next to the large fishing boats anchored at Omalia, Lithi's beautiful sandy beach surrounded by hills with medieval watchtowers ("viglas"). The small local taverns will provide the visitors with delicious red mullets, huge blackfish, bass fish and lobsters alongside the Aegean Sea.

Moreover, the sunset at Lithi is truly unforgettable!!
