West of Cape Masticho and just before reaching Cape Mesta on the S coast of Chios there are 5 wonderful coves. All of them are well protected from the meltemi but exposed to the SW.

The easternmost cove is Template:Poi test. There only here some abandoned campers. Nearby there are the ruins of a temple of Apollon and a small church. The road from here leads you to the medieval village of Olýmpoi (Ολύμποι), about 8 km away, a good walk.

Next going W is the small cove of Template:Poi test. There are a few buildings associated with a church. The road from here leads you to the medieval village of Olýmpoi, about 8 km away, a good walk. About 1.5 km from Ayia Dynamis there is the cave of Olýmpi, open every day except Mondays, 9:00-19:30 with guided tours, well worth the visit.

To the E of a promontory there is the larger Template:Poi test, totally deserted, save for few people during the day harvesting the mastich.

Next, to the W of the promontory is Template:Poi test with a small hamlet.

Finally the westernmost cove is the narrow inlet of Template:Poi test, totally deserted. Anchoring is easy in all of these cove. In Trachilia it is best to take a shore line to the W shore.

About one hour walk from here, up the dirt road, there is the medieval village of Olýmpoi, well worth a visit. Turn left when you reach the paved road. The other medieval village, Mestá is about a two hour walk, turn right when you reach the paved road.
