The Greek island of Chios is truly one of the few untouched paradises🌿🌅

Having traveled to many cities in a relatively short period of time, I rethought everything a little. I realized that today it is impossible to find a particularly beautiful place on the planet, accessible, I say affordable again, at a price that does not have people. Now all the most beautiful points are logically popular and logically very crowded. I went with this attitude to Italy, thinking that I would find beautiful places, deserted, haha, am I being ridiculous? There I generally encountered a harsh reality, the number of people there exceeds all norms.

And after that I remembered one place that was beautiful, affordable and deserted that I hadn't appreciated before, the island of Chios. It was the edge of the southern part of the island, where there was a beautiful Louiza Apartments with rooms in a Scandinavian style in my opinion.

They rent out excellent apartments at a fairly inexpensive price and represent a wonderful area intended for relaxation. A spacious area on which there are wonderful trees with hammocks, a relaxing terrace and the sea in one minute's walk.

You have two different beaches at your disposal, one with artificially piled stones and the other with a natural shore, we often chose the second, and I generally chose the third, the bath into which I jumped straight from the spiky stones, it was dangerous.

This option was the closest from home, but not only that attracted me, I was attracted by the broken but cute bridge that helped descend to the sea. I showed it from above in my article about the island from a drone. This area allowed us all to relax, these spaces were very picturesque and created comfort, the most favorite activity was jumping on thorny stones to the beat of the raging sea.

There were only a few houses in this place along which there was a dirt road that led directly to the wild beach where all of our bros mostly hung out.

I liked to sit there on the stones near the water, and also to walk through the nearby bushes up the hill. I met there uniquely beautiful, although very prickly bushes, they are so photogenic, I couldn't resist. There was a very beautiful view opened from there.

In general, this bay looks like something like paradise. There was a road up the hill, and up along it you could explore a desert island with beautiful views of the sea. Watching the waves against the background of hilly horizons is very exciting and there are also beautiful stones here. It is very relaxing to sit and collect stones and bask on a stone near the shore.

I very rarely swam, because it must be admitted that this is the Aegean Sea, I don't know if it is warm or in which places, but it was June and it was as cold as a freezer. I swam 3 times in a week, despite the fact that the sea is right under my nose.

And in the evening, you can watch the perfect sunset here, which so vividly demonstrates the free wildness of this place that the wind can be felt right through the camera, at least to me, hahah.

In general, sunsets over the sea here are particularly magical, each time different, each time unique. Although the place is wild, there are lanterns along the road and it is so cozy when they light up in the evening.

In Ukraine, we just don't have lanterns in this type of places 😅. In the evening, the moon can be seen very beautifully and atmospherically from the balcony.

And I went to chill in the garden, I wanted to try lying on the sunbed, I came, I was shooting a video at the same time, so I lie down, without suspecting anything, on the sunbed, and then it turns 180° and I'm face down on the ground, and my phone flies away in the other direction, that's how I lay.

And no one found out about the fail, everyone saw only cute shots with legs and an evening vibe

A video of the accident would have been fun though haha,just hope you didn't hurt yourself

And yeah it's true, all places seem to be so crowded! In Asia i was so good in finding the deserted places but in Europe I suck. Tell me when you need some deserted places in the Philippines some day, there they are findable and the best! Some beat the Maldives a thousand times (but the good stuff is a bit though to travel to but that's the adventure and the reason the places stay good :)

Yes, unfortunately it didn't survive :( Thanks for the comment @xsasj🖤
Your words gave me a hope, I will definitely look to you for tips about Philippine beaches. Europe is really a mess, it's oversaturated🤪

Yeahh that's sadly true.. I am from Holland,where you can find some quiet beaches when the weather isn't that sunny, but when it is sunny,the people are there like ants.
I'm currently traveling in Italy and I am gonna try my very best to find empty beaches. Or I will just wake up early to be there before the other people arrive.
But I guess the Philippines or Indonesia might be the better Places for deserted beaches. I don't really know about South America and Africa though, but the Philippines has plenty. Oh can I book my ticket already? ✈️☀️

Great, I'm challenging you to find empty beautiful beaches in Italy as I failed when I was there, but mind you I had a bit more difficult challenge cause it was summer time, now I guess a bit colder or no😅
At least I'm in Turkey and it's cold here, I haven't been swimming for a month. I still think that the Asia you are talking about is the best way out. Yea, buy a plane ticket @xsasj, I will join you soon😇😂
By the way, find my nickname @TheQofU on Telegram please, if I'll need tips about beaches 😇
