Very close to the town center. Definitely worth to see. Churches and mosque are together. Cafes are also nice.

You can take a nice walk around the walls of the castle but most of the area it encloses is pretty scuzzy. There are one or two nice cafes but isn't worth going out of your way to see.

It was interesting to walk through the streets inside the castle walls where people still live normally. It was interesting to see if you are in the area but I would not go out of my way to see it. It is in the downtown area and easy to get to.

Right in the center of the city of Chios, this is an ideal place for having a walk around and coffee in its lovely square. It seems though that this attraction has more to offer as long as everything seems recently renovated and fully functional.

This is a must for the amazing island of Chios! Go back and watch the documentary and be amazed once you are actually there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEC2CBm6OAoThe aura is unreal, plus you can end the walking tour with lunch or dinner in the castle square and raise a glass of vino to day of glory and plunder past.. WOW!

I am not sure if you should visit it but I can tell you it does not have much to offer.Apart of the external walls, the inside has very little to offer. At the end of our walk, we show the Turkish baths which have been refurbished but the woman who was in charge closed the baths and did not let us go inside. She claimed we were too late.

An amazing place to walk around the whole castle. A restaurant owner in the square gave us a map and despite the heat we strolled throughout the town. Amazing history.

If you have time and if you like to visit historical place, you can go there. we just passed from outside of castle cause we couldn't find time to visit. It's so close to port.

Chios castle offers itself for nice walks in the narrow streets or on the walls. Don't forget to visit the old Turkish baths, the churches (old mosques), the Justiniani palace (now turned to museum) and finally end up to Iliastra cafe next to the Ottoman graveyard for a refreshing cold drink or coffee. Although it's a very interesting place to visit, the castle needs more attention from the local authorities to be cleaner and tidier.

The Castle is a completely different scene from Chios town, so worth to visit to walk around, visit the Old Hamam (now turned into a gallery), have a look at the other sites and grab a coffee or drink at the square.
