KARDAMYLA (Small town) CHIOS
Kardamyla is a borough built on the site of ancient Kardamilis
at 28 km from the town of
Chios. It is divided into two settlements; the upper section is also the older
village, spreading at the feet of a steep hill. The houses have an intensely traditional
architecture. Narrow streets, curbstone alleys and covered passages are typical
local features; just as typical are the houses, mainly built in stone, decorated
with flowers and plants. Kardamyla is home to approximately 2000 persons in both
settlements. It is the birthplace of freedom fighters Chartoulakis (in the Middle
Ages) and Kontanignotis (in the 1821 War of Independence), The Venerable Nikiphoros,
historian of the Nea
Moni and Georgios Zolotas, historian of Chios, were also born here.
The lower village, called Marmaro, is built on the coast, in the inner
part of a beautiful bay at a distance of 2 km from the old settlement. It has
many exquisite mansions, built by the many seafarers and ship owners tracing their
origins to this place; the people of Kardamyla have always loved the sea on which
they worked.
A distinguishing mark of Marmaro is the statue of the Sailor from
Kardamyla, work of the sculptor Apartis, set in the harbor square. Walking in

the typical island atmosphere of Chios. The area has many delightful beaches;
Nagos and Yiosonas are considered the best of all.
