Makelos
Years ago chef Ilias Mamalakis’ show spotted the grandmothers of Pityos while they were making the famous hand-made pasta (“herissia macaronia”) under the centuries-old plane tree and since then “Makelos” has become a key destination point for anyone visiting Chios.
Hand-made spaghetti, the main dish on the poor table, sprinkled with grated traditional cheese, became the tavern’s trademark. However Makelos gradually established itself for its firm commitment to the use of local fresh ingredients and for ts specialization in flavors originating from Chios traditional cuisine.
The current owners seek to bring Piyios … to your plate: with cattle selections from the goats and cheeses of the region, snails, wild greens and meatballs with ingredients depending on the season; mainly, however, with a desire to tell the visitor stories from the area, one of which will shed light on the name “Makelos”, as well as to becoming guides for a longer journey into the depths of the unexplored north part of Chios under the sounds of traditional Chios music. They virtually turn your visit to “Makelos” into a holistic experience.

Pitys Chios Herbs Cultivation
Pitys chios herbs cultivation, is a small family business of cultivation and processing of herbs such as thyme, oregano, sage and savory.
Evgenia, ex bank clerk and Vassilis who used to work in the food service industry decided not to leave the uncultivated for 50 years ancestral lands; they rolled up their sleeves and the result is very promising; they gave back life to fields full of strong Chian oregano, spicy local sage, fragrant thyme and savory and an exeptional high quality mixture of herbs.
The crop is handpicked, without any machinery at all levels of production, thus leaving zero enviromental footprint.
It is a mild cultivation model, therefore the quantities of herbs are limited, to be used either as hot or cold drink, or as cooking herbs in gastronomy.
Efforts for highlighting our products and the village are made, therefore you can find PITYS HERBS exclusively at Pityos village.

Old School
Our love for Pityos, my mother’s place of origin, was the motivation… So we decided, in 2019, to use he building of the Old School of the village, which had been converted into a guesthouse in order to create a small, warm space where passers-by can rest, spend the night, get to know the village; a place for coffee, homemade sweets, ouzo, delicious food and drinks!
Together with the operation of the guesthouse, “The old school” has already been established as a point of reference for those who enjoy good food!!!
