A view of the island

Chios is a Greek island located in the Aegean Sea. The capital of the island is the similarly named city.

History

The island is famous for mastic, the fragrant resin produced by the trees in the area.[1]

During the 5th century BCE, the island was home to the Daughters of Artemis, a cult who worshipped the Greek goddess of the hunt, Artemis. The Spartan misthios Kassandra visited the island during the Peloponnesian War.[1]

In 1510, during his voyage to Masyaf the Mentor of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins Ezio Auditore da Firenze had to stop off at the island of Chios after his ship ran into a storm.[2]
