Emporios Bay Hotel Chios

This is a fabulous hotel - a traditional family run business, you can feel the love and passion poured into it. Right from our arrival we were made to feel genuinely welcome by the whole family. We stayed in a studio apartment, it was sparkling clean and plenty big enough for 2 people. The apartment was serviced every day. Breakfast was a highlight. Delicious Greek specialities and pastries, honey, yoghurt... fresh fruits and juices. The hotel has a lovely pool area but there are so many beautiful beaches nearby... Agia Dynami, Lithi and Trachili were 3 of our favourites. Emporios is a tiny settlement but has 5 tavernas - all are fabulous! The harbour is just 200m from the hotel and there is a beach perhaps 400m away but to see the island a car is necessary. The hotel also rent cars at a very competitive price. The roads are quiet and it is a joy to drive - the island is breathtakingly beautiful. We will certainly return - thank you so much Gioli and Ilias.

We had planned to stay in Chios just for two days, but when we discovered the splendid hospitality of the Kampas family and their little paradise we decided to prolong our stay. Everything in the premises is well kept, with an obvious attention to the details, to cleaningness, and to order. Good, practical, no nonsense indoor/outdoor spaces , all well maintained. Their friendly willingness to respond to our needs and wishes was impressive. The attractive 'small' features are numerous: rich breakfast, plenty of parking space, refreshing swimming pool, soft music, quiet surroundings, various corners to relax in, wifi available everywhere. We had been there back in Easter 2014. Now everything seemed newer than then! Probably because the entire family has been devoted to upgrading their place as a prime accommodation facility. They certainly are successful in that! I have no doubt about where to stay next time in Chios. Especially given the wonderful attractions in the vicinity.

Clean, in fact spotless, and comfortable, particularly the bed. Fantastic breakfast with great choice to suit all tastes. The pool was cleaned daily (loved watching the wee robot cleaner as did some kids!). The owner family were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and all the staff did their jobs to perfection. A lot of the guests return year after year and we can see why. We hope to join that list of repeat visitors.
