This is a short local crossing from Chios town to the small island of Oinousses just off the northeast coast. It takes around forty five to fifty minutes, either on the small local boat operated by Chios-Oinousses Lines or on the larger Nissos Samos when the North Aegean line calls in. Fares are low, and the crossing is more a bus service for islanders than a tourist run.
Oinousses is a quiet, largely untouristed island with one village, also called Oinousses, gathered round the harbour. It is known as the home of several prominent Greek shipowning families, which shows in the substantial houses and in the small maritime museum near the waterfront. There are low key beaches and a handful of tavernas, and not much else, which is rather the point.
The link runs daily and often more than once a day, making Oinousses a realistic day trip from Chios if the timings suit. The current timetable and fares are shown below. Chios town itself is the connecting point for onward ferries to Piraeus, Lesvos and the Turkish coast at Cesme.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Chios?
Yes, and the ferry dock sits right in Chios Town itself, with rental offices a short walk away or at the airport 3-4km south. A car makes sense if you want to reach the Mastic villages in the south or Kambos's walled citrus groves, since buses run less frequently outside town; compare prices at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Chios to Oinousses ferry
- Toilets at smaller island ports can be limited and poorly maintained; use facilities at your hotel or a cafe before heading to the port.
- Where a route has both a slow overnight ferry and a fast daytime catamaran, consider whether speed or cost matters more – the conventional ferry is usually significantly cheaper.
- Many short-hop vessels do not have toilet facilities; use facilities at the port before boarding.
- Wheeled suitcases are harder to manage on steep gangways and across uneven quaysides than backpacks; a soft-sided bag with carry handles is a practical compromise.
- Medicines, including seasickness tablets and any prescription drugs, should always be in your day bag, not buried in hold luggage.
