Agios Georgios Sikousis

Agios Georgios Sikousis is located on a hill, about 15 kilometers southwest from Chios City and has many interesting things to visit. Just take an extended walk through the village and you will for sure pass by the beautiful church of Agios Georgios Sikousis, which was the chapel of the monastery a long time ago. This monastery was supposed to look like the famous Nea Moni, but after some centuries only the chapel and the gate remained. If you walk a little further you will also be able to enjoy an amazing view over the island of Chios!

 Another thing that might be interesting to see is the big boulder in the middle of a street in an area of the village that is called “Patimasia” which means “the Footstep”. This boulder was allegedly touched by Agios Georgios’ horse and has still the mark of its horseshoe on it. The people tried to remove the boulder from the street, but were not able to do so.
