Είναι τιμή για εμένα να λέω οτι κατάγομαι από τον τόπο της μητέρας μου, την όνορφη Χίο. Το νησί με την τόσο μεγάλη ναυτική παράδοση και τις μεγάλες φυσικές ομορφιές. Το νησί που τόσα πρόσφερε και συνεχίζει να προσφέρει στην Ελλάδα.

Congratulations for this great initiative and wonderful realisation Chios is a wonderful Island and the people are very kindly and sympathetic. Thank you for hospitality Bye .

Hello, My name is Scott and I live in Florida, USA. My family who are Jews from Rhodes were said to be from Chios. I was told by a relative that before they went to Rhodes they lived on the Chios island. Can you tell me if there were any Jews living on Chios? Is there anyone I can contact to learn if there were any SCIOTI's living there about 1905? Any help you can give would be well aprreciated. Thank you kindly, Scott Marks

I visited this site because I know that my grandfather's family on my mother's side originally came from Chios. I don't know terribly much about it but I would love to find out if there are any (even distant) relatives still there. My grandfather's name was Kossena, and I notice in the business directory that there are a few (no email address though). I would love to hear from any Kossenas around. Anyway it was a pleasure finding the site and finding out a little about the island. Thanks!

I went to chios in 1995 and it was great and my relitives are going this year to chios for a hoilday. When it was great hopefuly i can go next year in the year 2000

Me and my husband hav been to Chios four times and we love it. We have got many friends there and we love to go back.

Hello, Chios from Torquay. My grandfather was born in Chios and was also called Panagiotis Skrivanos. Quite some time ago he moved to England where he set up a successful restuarant and had a large family. My relations in Chios include many families in Chora itself such as the Klimi and Kanavari families. Last year, for the first time, at the age of sixteen I came to Chios for three weeks and have fallen in love with it, especially the clubs in Chora such as 'La Loca' and 'Next Skiniko'. Expect to see me there again! Great website. Cheers.

From Los Angeles to Emborios.

My family originated in the village of Tholopotami, Chios. Drop my an email message. Thanks- Peter

This is a great web site. It helped me before my visit and I hope it can help me now. My father was Louis Elias (Elias Monios), born on Chios 1908, the son of Dimitrios Monios and Ypatia Kampanlas. I was fortunate to be able to visit Chios in March, and was graciously welcomed by my father's cousin, Lucas Monios. I want to send him a thank you note and some pictures of our visit, but am having trouble getting an address. I would truly appreciate it if someone can get me an address, or direct me to a source where I would be able to get an address. Thank you!

Χαιρετίσματα στη Χίο, σε όλους τους φίλους δικτυωμένους και μη. Συνεχίστε την καλή δουλειά.

Great site...Keep up the good work...I am originally from XIOS (ARMOLIA CITY XEXEXEXE) .....A big Hello to all Xiotes around the world..

Great site, my family are native Xiotes (Tholopotami), and I am due for another visit.

We feel that we have found "our island". We have been there four times and will go back in July. We have visited a lot of Greek islands; Chios is the best!

This is a great site. Keep up the great work. Christos Anesti to the island of Xios.

Welcome to our new guestbook. We are waiting for your messages!

Dear Chios-people, I will go to Chios for the first time from August 26 till September 16. The more I read the internet sites regarding Chios, the more I am happy that I made this choice after the other Greek islands I visited, like Crete, Rhodos, Karpathos, Samos, Santorini, Skopelos and Athens (where I have lived 1 year). Thanks for all the wonderful information, which I have printed and will take with during my holidays to make sure that I will miss nothing of your island. With best regards, Gina

My family orginally came from Anavatos. My great grandfather to spare the village, had to leave for Egypt as he had killed the son of the Sultan during the occupation diffending our village. I am very proud to be a Chiotis and a Hellene, I would never give up my Hellenic identety and embrace any other citizenship. I have lived in the USA on and off for 30 years and would never become an American. I urge Greek/Americans to give up their US citizenship, come back to the Hellenic fold, you can still live in the USA for as long as you want nobody will bother you. you will be a resident alien (green card), you will have all the rights you had except to vote. Then why do you want to vote? the American government has never been a friend of Greece. God bless Chios and all Hellenes no matter where they are in the World.

Chios is the most beautiful place in the world. I am very proud to originate from there. My father,Emmanuel, comes from Dafnonas. I remember my grandma and grandpa and get so sentimental. I am lucky to have a small house so I can visit. My mom comes from Kampos. My parents build a beautiful house. I love my mom's relatives, my cousins "The Teterises." They are the most lovable, caring, and fun relatives. They are the reason Chios is the best place for me. Chios's people at their fullest potential are the smartest, and most successful individuals. Always remember Chios with her beautiful beaches, people, and spirit. Love Chios!

If anyone out there wants to email me, feel free to do so. I would like to contact other Voutsis people. Apparently there are quite a few of us all over the world. So how about it.
