Lesbos and Chios sit close enough together in the north-eastern Aegean that the crossing between them feels more like an inter-island hop than a long sea voyage. Both are working islands with substantial harbours -- Mytilini and Chios Town -- built to handle car ferries, freight and passenger traffic year-round, not just summer tourism, so the terminals are functional rather than picturesque. Check the schedule box above for the current confirmed dates before you travel.
Service runs daily through the main season, with an extra sailing added on some days when demand picks up at the height of summer. See the table below for how frequency shifts month to month.
