It is an impressive beach with black peebles and dark blue waters! South of Chios-town on the east coast of Chios island, close to the city of Emborio lays the beach "Mavra Volia". In the direct surrounding of the beach are ancient finding of 6th century B.C. The findings include a temple in honor of the goddess Athena.

As a result of volcanic activity the beach consists entirely of black stones. The Genoese used these black stones to pave their yards for their houses built in the Kambos. The black stones give the beach something special, making the beach more than just a beach.
