Mykonos (Tourlos) to Mesta Route Map
Mykonos to Mesta is a long conventional crossing of around two hours forty on the Blue Star Patmos, running north-east out of the Cyclades towards Chios. It is a seasonal working of the line that links the Cyclades with the North Aegean, so it appears in the timetable rarely rather than as a standing service. The Blue Star Patmos is a large ferry with lounges, deck space and vehicle capacity.
Mesta is a fortified medieval village in the mastic-producing south of Chios, known for its labyrinth of stone lanes built to keep out pirate raids. It has an atmospheric, inland feel despite sitting near the coast, with traditional tavernas and mastic heritage as the main draws. The area's principal ferry gateway is Chios Town, roughly 30km away, so onward transport is worth arranging.
This sailing runs only occasionally, around once a fortnight when it operates at all. Current departure times and fares are shown in the timetable below. If it does not fit your dates, the usual approach to Chios is via Piraeus or through the Samos and Ikaria line.

Hiring a car
Is it worth hiring a car on Mykonos?
Worth it if you plan to reach beaches like Elia or Kalafatis and the far side of the island, since buses run less often outside town. New Port is about 3km from Chora, roughly a 13-minute drive, and Chora itself is pedestrian-only so you park on the edge and walk in. Quad bikes are a popular alternative.

Tips for the Mykonos (Tourlos) to Mesta ferry
- Most scheduled ferries – including those to Piraeus, Rafina, Santorini and Naxos – dock at the New Port at Tourlos, roughly 3km north of town, not the Old Port in Mykonos Town itself; check your ticket before heading out.
- During July and August arrive at the New Port at least an hour before departure – ferries here fill quickly, queues for ticket collection build fast, and boarding gates close without much warning.
- A sea bus links the New Port at Tourlos with the Old Port near town in about eight minutes, running regularly through the day; it carries luggage, so it's a reliable option if a taxi isn't available.
- Taxis are scarce on Mykonos and demand regularly outstrips supply at the port, especially in high season, so budget extra time or use the public bus or sea bus into town instead of relying on finding one.
- Vehicle dimensions and weight affect your ferry fare; double-check the operator's measurement categories if you are driving an unusually large or heavy vehicle.
