Komi is one of the most beloved and cosmopolitan seaside villages on the Greek island of Chios, located in the southern part of the island. It has a beautiful, extensive sandy beach that draws both locals and tourists during the summer months. The shallow, warm waters of the Aegean Sea make it a good destination for families with children and those looking for a relaxing swimming experience. The main attraction is Komi Beach itself, which is well-organized with sunbeds, umbrellas, and various water sports facilities. A short distance away is Lilikas beach, offering a slightly different, more tranquil setting with pebbles and crystal-clear waters. The lively promenade along the beach is lined with numerous cafes, beach bars, and traditional tavernas where visitors can taste local Chian delicacies.
