Hondos Center

Hondos is a Greek department store that focuses heavily on cosmetics and women's wear. The array of make up and beauty products is some of the best in Chios, and make-up artists offer complimentary services to customers. The store also sells accessories, such as bags and watches.

Shopping

Chios is famous for its mastic products, including pure mastic gum and loukoumi sweets, all of which are sold in shops all over the island. It is also known for the best ouzo in Greece, and this high-octane, fennel-flavoured liquor is also on sale everywhere. Pistachio nuts and almonds are also plentiful. In several of the masticochoria villages, including Thimaina, Amolia and Notiochori, local Women’s Associations run folk art shops which sell traditional pottery, embroidery and woven fabrics.
