Chios is an island in Greece, and its very famous from the production of the mastic, a resin obtained from the mastic tree . In pharmacies and nature shops, it is called "Arabic gum" (not to be confused with gum arabic) and "Yemen gum". In Greece, it is known as the "tears of Chios," being traditionally produced on that Greek island, and, like other natural resins, is produced in "tears" or droplets. The island has many amazing beaches and generally it is quite there, perfect for lounge holidays!
