Hello from Chios We have been spending the last couple of days in Karfas on Chios island between Lesbos and Samos. The weather was not really amazing, we had a lot of rain and morning temperatures of around 15 degrees Celsius. We stayed at Marko's place. We were Marko's first vistors this year. It is still very quiet around here. Most of the few tourists we met on the island were Norwegians as 1. there is a direct flight from Oslo and 2. Norwegians prefer Greece in spring when the temperatures are still bearable. Chios is quite a non-touristic island. It does not really need the tourists as in the south of the island the resin of the Mastix shrub is collected and Chios is the only place in the world where the mastix yields the resin which is used a lot for chemical and pharmaceutical purposes. We tried to chew the resin but that is something not really to be recommended as the resin sticks in between the teeth and is very hard to get rid of. The liqueur of Mastix tastes quite nice nevertheless. Our next destination will be Samos island, the ferry is supposed to leave in one hour. There we will do some more hiking if the weather permits it.
