The Chios Mastic Museum, Chios Island Greece

Surrounded by Chios Mastiha trees, in complete harmony with the environment, the Chios Mastic Museum is ready to welcome its visitors. The Chios Mastic Museum is dedicated to Chios Mastiha (or gum mastic), the unique product that has shaped the natural and human environment of the Mastichochoria area of southern Chios, as well as the productive and economic history of the island. Mastiha (or gum mastic) is the aromatic resin of the lentisc tree (Pistacia lentiscus Chia, or skinos in greek). This evergreen bush grows wild throughout the Mediterranean, but, curiously, southern Chios is the only place where it is cultivated to produce Mastiha.
