The island of Chios

It seems the island of Chios is now becoming quite the place to be. Even a former President toured the island visiting the sites and enjoying the hospitality of the people. If you travel to the island, be sure to visit Daskalopetra, better known in English as Homer's stone.

The ancient Greek poet was thought to have taught his students at this location overlooking the sea. He may have been telling them the tales of Helen of Troy or those of Ulysses.
