Ferry from Chios to Myrina (Limnos)

Chios to Myrina on Limnos is a long northbound leg of the Blue Star Ferries line, worked by the Diagoras. It runs to around nine hours, usually calling at Lesvos on the way, so it is a full day or night on board. The Diagoras is a conventional car ferry with cabins, seating lounges and a decent amount of open deck.

Myrina is the capital and main port of Limnos, an attractive working town with Ottoman and neoclassical buildings and two sandy beaches either side of a rocky headland. That headland carries Myrina Castle, a large Byzantine and Genoese fortress that dominates the town. Limnos gets comparatively few visitors, and the island is known for its wine and ouzo, quiet beaches and volcanic farmland, along with the Gallipoli era naval history around Moudros Bay.

The route runs around three times a week, so it needs planning around rather than improvising. The current timetable and fares are shown below. From Myrina the same line continues north to Kavala and Thessaloniki, and Limnos also has an airport with mainland flights.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Chios to Myrina ferry

• Carry a smaller day bag separately from your main luggage: this holds your passport, wallet, phone, charger, sunscreen, and anything else you need during the crossing.
• Gather your belongings and move towards the appropriate exit before the vessel docks rather than scrambling at the last minute.
• If you want to avoid the worst of the meltemi, book morning departures from exposed Aegean ports in July and August – conditions are typically calmer before midday.
• Ticket prices on some routes include a mandatory port surcharge; on others it is separate – the checkout total will clarify this before you pay.
• The engine vibration on large overnight ferries is constant but usually becomes white noise within 30 minutes; most passengers sleep through it.
