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 Kato Faná Bay/wiki/User:Vadim/Sandbox4#Kato_Fan.C3.A1_BayAnchorage icon Kato Faná Bay [[User:Vadim/Sandbox4#Kato Faná Bay|Kato Faná Bay]] (Κάτω Φανά) 38°12.3′N, 25°55.5′E . 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 Ayia Dynamis/wiki/User:Vadim/Sandbox4#Ayia_DynamisAnchorage icon Ayia Dynamis [[User:Vadim/Sandbox4#Ayia Dynamis|Ayia Dynamis]] (Αγία Δύναμις) 38°12.9′N, 25°54.7′E . 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 Salagonas/wiki/User:Vadim/Sandbox4#SalagonasAnchorage icon Salagonas [[User:Vadim/Sandbox4#Salagonas|Salagonas]] (Σαλάγωνας) 38°13.2′N, 25°54.8′E , totally deserted, save for few people during the day harvesting the mastich.

Next, to the W of the promontory is Angelia/wiki/User:Vadim/Sandbox4#AngeliaAnchorage icon Angelia [[User:Vadim/Sandbox4#Angelia|Angelia]] (Αγγέλια) 38°13.2′N, 25°54′E with a small hamlet.

Finally the westernmost cove is the narrow inlet of Trachilia/wiki/User:Vadim/Sandbox4#TrachiliaAnchorage icon Trachilia [[User:Vadim/Sandbox4#Trachilia|Trachilia]] (Τραχείλια) 38°13.2′N, 25°53.6′E , 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.

You can call for a taxi either from Mestá, tel +30 6972 543 543 or from Olýmpoi, tel. +30 2710 76 357 or +30 6937 937 758.
