Hellenic Seaways (Nissos Samos)
These are the sailings we recorded on this route from November 2025 to October 2026. They show what ran then, not a forecast: timetables change from year to year.
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.

Oinousses to Chios Ferry Fares
Lowest fare by vessel class
From €3.00 on a conventional ferry. A high-speed crossing and a conventional one are different products at different prices, so they are listed separately rather than reduced to a single figure.

| Conventional ferry | €3.00 | Hellenic Seaways | Nissos Samos |
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
- Some short-hop routes operate more frequent services on weekends than weekdays; check the specific day's timetable rather than assuming it is the same every day.
- Most Greek ports have a covered waiting area, though it can be crowded in summer – arriving early secures a seat in the shade.
- The meltemi typically peaks in the afternoons and can create significant swell; afternoon departures from exposed ports are more likely to be rough.
- Short hops between neighbouring Cyclades islands (e.g. Paros to Naxos, or Naxos to Koufonisi) are an easy way to add variety to your itinerary without long travel days.
