Ferry from Limia (Chios) to Psara

Limia, on the west coast of Chios, is the departure point for Psara, and the crossing takes around an hour and forty minutes. The Agia Marini I Shipping Co runs it with the Psara Glory, a small conventional ferry serving the island. It is open water across the northern Aegean, so sailings can be affected by wind.

Psara is a remote, sparsely populated island west of Chios, rugged and traditional, and one of the least-visited islands in the Aegean. Its main draw is historical: the island was the site of a devastating attack during the 1824 Greek War of Independence, and that history is still central to how the place presents itself. The small harbour town, also called Psara, has a modest waterfront with a few tavernas and a monument commemorating the island's past.

Sailings run only a few times a week, so connections need careful planning and a buffer day if the weather turns. Current departures are listed in the table below. Chios itself connects to Piraeus, Lesvos and Samos, and Limia is reached by road across the island from Chios Town.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Limia to Psara ferry

• The Cyclades are more exposed to the meltemi than the Dodecanese, which are sheltered by the Turkish coast – a relevant factor when comparing summer sea conditions.
• Some hotels and guesthouses will store your luggage after checkout until your evening ferry – always ask, as it is common practice and usually offered free of charge.
• The return trip on a day-trip short hop is usually the most crowded – the late afternoon ferry from a popular beach island fills fast in summer.
• On very small short-hop ferries, bicycles are usually carried for a small fee – a great way to explore an island in a single day.
