Sidirounta is a village built up on a hillock at the west side of Chios island
with a panoramic view to the Aegean sea. From here someone can enjoy the sunset,
drinking his coffee in one of the local traditional cafe places. Sidirounta includes
other two areas, the one of Metochi and the other of Prasteio. Further down the
village, on a beautiful valley with plane -trees and fresh spring water is the
old temple of John the Baptist, while in the area of Prasteio up to the off -shore
dirt road that ends to Managros, is saved in a good condition the Byzantine church
of Saint George. Around the outline of Sidirounta there are many of the most beautiful
and pure coasts of the island. The waters there are clean and have a light green
color.
