Chios (Chios Island), located across the Karaburun Peninsula in the Aegean Sea, is one of the closest Greek islands to Turkey. The reason why the island, which is pronounced as Chios in Turkish, is called by this name is because of the gum plant grown on the island. Chios, which has the most gum trees in the world, has a monopoly in mastic production.

Chios introduces many mastic flavored products to consumers. Cesme, located just across Chios, stands out with its increasing gum cultivation in recent years. More than 50,000 people live on the island, also known as Chios in Greek. The name Hora is also used for the island.
