Car Rental in Chios

Family car rental in Chios

The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Greece traditionally include the following vehicles: Audi A4, Renault Scenic, Peugeot 508, Ford Mondeo, Hyundai Elantra, Mazda 6 and others.

The process of a car reservation on OrangeSmile.com consists of 3 simple steps: (1) search by the dates and pick-up location, (2) car type selection, and (3) booking form completion. After the booking, you will receive a rental voucher at your e-mail address.

Before selecting a specific model to book, check your planned routes. If you are going to drive mostly within the Chios borders, choose a car of 'Standard' or 'Compact' types. In case you plan long cross-countries trips or mountain adventures, the more comfortable and powerful 'Fullsize' models would become a better choice.

If you need a car with an automatic gearbox, try to make a reservation at least a few days before the pick-up date, since confirmation of such models in Chios might be delayed for a day or two.

Upon the return of your car, carefully check that the total payment amount (invoice) is computed according to the original rental conditions.

We wish you 'smooth', secure and safe roads in Chios!

As for religious attractions, you should pay your attention to the old Panagia Kanala Church located on the hilltop. The exact date of the construction of this tiny church is not known. In the course of archeological researches, it was found out that, during the rule of the Byzantium Empire, the monastery was located in this hilltop. The main religious relic is the icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary aged over a thousand years. The hilltop where the church is located has a breathtaking panoramic view of the island.

In the center of the island, there is the Naval Museum founded not so long ago, in 1991. The museum was founded by the representatives of one of the local rich families. Since its foundation, the museum has been regularly used for organizing conferences and other scientific events. Its main exhibits are models of famous ships. The museum also houses the collection of paintings dedicated to the maritime theme. The museum occupies the beautiful building built in the 19th century. It is a vivid example of the neoclassical style. By visiting the museum, you can learn a lot about the important role of Chios in the trade and shipping development.
