Chios, the
Mastik Island, is the fifth largest of the Greek islands, separated from
Cesme - where this photo was taken - by 4.5 miles. The island has been habitated since at least the
neolithic era.
Homer is frequently said to be born on the island of Chios or in
Smyrna. Stoic philosopher,
Ariston of Chios is also from the island.
"There is only one true virtue in life - an intelligent, healthy state of mind."
