 * Some claim Chios is Christopher Columbus's birthplace. Columbus said he was from Genoa, but he never claimed he was from the city of Genoa itself. Chios was a Genoese possession at the time of Columbus birth, and 'Columbus' is a common surname on Chios . Furthermore Columbus appears to have known Chios very well, since he often made references to it in his journals.
 * Chios is also the birthplace of some well known poets of modern times as Giorgos Dilvois, Nikos Gialouris, [[Dimitris Varos]] and Matheos Moundes.
