Club career
He has played for the football club AEK Athens for more than 10 years. He joined the club in 1994 when he was 18. He was given on loan by AEK two times, for one season to Ethnikos Piraeus and for another season to Proodeftiki FC. He has been a regular first-team player since 2001, but at the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons he took a back seat to newly acquired Italian keeper Stefano Sorrentino.
On 22 May 2007 Chiotis was released by AEK to join Kerkyra FC, where he signed a 1-year contract which was terminated on 6 May 2008.
In June 2008 he joined APOEL and with his high-level appearances, he contributed to the winning of the Cyprus Championship 2008-09 and the qualification for the first time of the club at the group stage of the 2009–10 UEFA Champions League. In that season, his club had the lowest number of goals conceded. He was also voted as the MVP of the club for that season and became one of the favorite players of APOEL fans.
In the 2009-2010 Champions League group stage he helped APOEL to take a point against Atletico Madrid in Spain by holding Atletico to zero[1][1],. At the same week he was voted as the best goalkeeper of the week in the Champions League.[2] He appeared in all six official 2009–10 UEFA Champions League group stage matches with APOEL and he had great performances.
The next season he helped APOEL to win the 2010–11 Cypriot First Division, adding the second championship title to his honours list.
