Agios Kirykos to Chios Route Map
Blue Star Ferries runs the Diagoras north from Ikaria to Chios, a passage of around six and a half hours on the conventional ship. It forms part of the longer North Aegean route, so the crossing usually includes a call at Samos or Fourni on the way. Deck fares start around €14, which is good value for the distance.
Chios is a large island close to the Turkish coast, historically wealthy from mastic and shipping, and it feels quite unlike the Cyclades. Chios Town's harbour is overlooked by a Genoese-era castle in the old quarter, and the town itself is a substantial working place with proper shops and services. The mastic villages in the south, Mesta and Pyrgi among them, and the Nea Moni monastery inland are the main reasons people head out from the port.
The service runs about once a week, so it needs booking ahead rather than leaving to chance. Current departures, journey times and fares are shown in the table below. From Chios there are onward links north to Lesvos and Lemnos, west to Psara, and south to Piraeus.

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.
