Chios Municipality, Administrative division in Northern Aegean Region, Greece

The Chios Municipality covers 842.3 square kilometers on the eastern coast of Chios Island, facing the Turkish coastal town of Çeşme.

The municipality emerged from the 2011 Greek local government reform, incorporating the main town of Chios and surrounding villages into a unified administrative entity.

The municipality contains multiple districts including Mastichochoria, where local farmers maintain centuries-old traditions of cultivating and harvesting mastic trees.

The administrative center serves 27,015 residents as of 2021 and functions as the primary port connecting the island to mainland Greece and Turkey.

The territory encompasses both the medieval Kastro fortress and the Nea Moni monastery, recognized by UNESCO for its Byzantine mosaics and architecture.
