Oinousses to Chios is the island's everyday lifeline, thirty to fifty minutes depending on the boat. Chios-Oinousses Lines run the small local vessel Oinousses III, and Hellenic Seaways' Nissos Samos also calls on its longer routing. Fares start around €3, so it is an easy day trip in either direction.
Chios is a large North Aegean island close to the Turkish coast, historically wealthy from mastic and shipping. The town's harbour sits below a Genoese-era castle in the old quarter, and the island's real draw is inland: the mastic villages of Mesta and Pyrgi, and the Nea Moni monastery. It is a good deal less touristed than the Cyclades.
The route runs once or twice a day, and the current timetable and fares are shown below. Chios Town is the connecting point for onward ferries to Piraeus, Lesvos and Turkey, so most Oinousses journeys begin here. The small local boat is the more frequent of the two services.

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 Oinousses to Chios ferry
- On some very short crossings, tickets are sold on board rather than at a booth; board first and pay the crew.
- Most Greek ports have a covered waiting area, though it can be crowded in summer – arriving early secures a seat in the shade.
- Island-hopping itineraries that move in one direction (e.g. Athens to Rhodes via the Dodecanese) rather than back-and-forth are generally cheaper and less stressful.
- In an emergency, follow crew instructions immediately; the muster stations are marked on deck plans posted in corridors and at cabin doors.
