Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Villa Konak and Argentikon in Kampos?
Both are restored historic mansions in the Kampos citrus district. Villa Konak is typically priced at a slightly lower rate and has 8 rooms; Argentikon has 9 suites and tends toward a more formal luxury positioning. Both offer a comparable estate atmosphere.
What does 'konak' mean?
A konak is a large Ottoman-era residence or administrative building, typically built around a central courtyard. The Kampos district of Chios contains dozens of surviving examples from the 16th to 19th centuries, many built by wealthy Genoese and later Greek merchant families.
Is a car necessary to stay at Villa Konak?
A car or scooter is recommended. Kampos is 3 km from Chios Town and the island's bus service to the area is limited. Renting a vehicle from the port on arrival is straightforward and opens up all of Chios's beaches and villages.
When is the best time to visit Chios and stay at Villa Konak?
April to October is the main season. March and April are particularly beautiful when the citrus trees are in blossom and the orchards are fragrant. Summer (July–August) is warmest but also busiest on the island.
