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.
