About Mesta:
Mesta lies southwest of the town of Chios, 35 kilometers away, in
the area of Mastihohoria (meaning the "mastic villages"). It is a
perfectly preserved castle village dated to the medieval period.
The houses were built one right next to the other, thereby creating
a protective wall surrounding the village. The open-hearted and
kind people of Mesta still preserve the traditions of the 14th
century village. The village's most important custom takes place
during the carnival festivities where the "Aghas" trials, a
satirical replica of the trials that used to take place under the
Turkish Occupation, are presented. There are two routes that
visitors may choose in order to come to Mesta.
How to find
us:
Take the road leading to Armolia, Pyrgi, and Olympi onward to
Mesta.
The visitor should leave his own
transport at the circus outside the village.
