Neochori

Neochori is part of the municipality Agios Minas, and located approximately nice kilometers from the capital of the island, Chios city. It is also locally called Chora by the inhabitants, whose main occupation is farming.

The main church is devoted to Virgin Mary and it is an example of the local architecture of the 19th century. The most remarkable feature of Neochori, however, is the beach of Agia Fotia. Near the beach are hotels, rooms and apartments to rent, as well as taverns and cafes. The Monastery of Agios Minas overlooks the village from the hill nearby, in which today only eleven nuns live.
