Chios Rooms, room 5
Lonely Planet writes that Don, the ex-pat Kiwi who owns this pension, is always ready for a beer and a chat. So don't be surprised if, when you turn up, someone has already cornered him in the kitchen to pick his brains about everything from Chios restaurants to politics. We did, many times. The rooms are in a lovely old neoclassical building right on the harbourfront, some with views out to the water (these tend to be noisier, however). We originally checked in for one night, but stayed for 5. If you hire a scooter, here makes a good base for discovering many beaches north and south, as well as sightseeing inland.
Bathroom: Outside the room across the corridor, quite clean, although rather public in that the doors don't go all the way to the floor. (People walking past will be able to hear you weeing.)
View: Chios harbour
Cost: 30 euros
Special note: The ceilings in this place are incredibly high – we guesstimated them to be 3 JBs high (the JB unit of measurement being how many JBs could stand on top of each other in the room, naturally).
Recommended? Highly
