Chorio (meaning 'village') is the oldest occupied part of the town and comprises the area from the windmills to the castle mound and up the lower slopes of the Vilage. The historic routes of the Kali Strata and the Kateraktis provide pedestrian routes to the area and the Kali Strata in particular is worth the effort of the climb to look at the fine old merchant houses that line the way. The motor road from the harbour takes a longer route around the periphery of the town, touching on Chorio at several points including near the top of the Kali Strata.
