Mastic Villages & Ephesus Tours focus on Chios heritage paired with Ephesus. Ephesus gives the Turkey-side UNESCO ancient city anchor, while Chios can add Nea Moni of Chios, Byzantine mosaic heritage, mastic villages, Pyrgi, Mesta and medieval village architecture where the selected route supports those details.
Mastic heritage can be mentioned, but tastings, museum entry, workshops and purchases require product confirmation. Nea Moni belongs to the World Heritage property Monasteries of Daphni, Hosios Loukas and Nea Moni of Chios, while Chios mastic cultivation is UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Do not assume monastery entrance, mastic tasting, village depth, museum access, ferry tickets, meals or transfers unless listed. Selected product details should confirm route direction, timing, inclusions and final port or hotel plan before booking.
