Anavatos is not the only medieval settlement of Chios, as there are also Avgonyma, Sidirounta and Karyes, but it is the most impressive. It is very imposing as the landscape is out of this world as the village is on top of a cliff with a panoramic view. It is a pity that Anavatos is a ghost village without permanent residents but there is a tavern. There is no shade so only visit in late afternoon.
