Oinousses to Piraeus is the long haul down to Athens, around nine hours on the Hellenic Seaways Nissos Samos. It is a conventional overnight-scale ferry with proper seating and cabins, and it calls at other North Aegean ports on the way. Fares start around €39.
Piraeus is the main port of Athens, a few kilometres from the city centre, and one of the busiest passenger ports in Europe. The metro terminus sits at the harbour and runs directly into central Athens. The port covers numbered gates E1 to E12, so check which gate applies to your ferry rather than assuming.
Direct sailings run about twice a week, and the current timetable and fares are shown below. If the dates do not suit, the short hop to Chios Town gives you access to a much more frequent Piraeus service. Oinousses itself is a quiet island with a maritime museum reflecting its shipowning heritage.

Tips for the Oinousses to Piraeus ferry
- The engine vibration on large overnight ferries is constant but usually becomes white noise within 30 minutes; most passengers sleep through it.
- For larger vessels and busy routes, aim to arrive 45–60 minutes early to allow time for vehicle loading queues.
- The upper open deck in summer is exposed to full sun; apply sunscreen before boarding and reapply if you spend more than an hour on deck.
- When boarding is announced, move promptly – gangways can be crowded and ferries do occasionally depart a minute or two early once all vehicles are loaded.
- Ferries from Piraeus depart from the main port of Athens, giving easy access to the Acropolis, the world-class Acropolis Museum, and the ancient Agora. The historic Plaka neighbourhood at the foot of the Acropolis hill, with its neoclassical lanes, Roman ruins, and traditional tavernas, is the most atmospheric place to spend time before or after your crossing.
