Patmos to Chios Route Map
Patmos to Chios is a long haul north on the Blue Star Ferries vessel Diagoras, taking a little over eight hours. This is part of the through service that links the Dodecanese with the North Aegean, so the boat calls at several islands along the way. It is an overnight or full day passage depending on the sailing, and there is plenty of deck space to spread out.
Chios is a large North Aegean island close to the Turkish coast, historically wealthy from mastic and shipping and much less touristy than the Cyclades. The harbour at Chios town is overlooked by a Genoese era castle in the old quarter. Inland are the medieval mastic villages, Mesta and the geometric facades of Pyrgi among them, and the mosaics at Nea Moni monastery.
The route runs about once a week, so it needs planning rather than improvising. Current departures, journey times and fares are shown in the table below, with fares starting around thirty seven euros. Chios has frequent onward ferries to Piraeus and Lesvos, plus a small airport with Athens flights.

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.
Do you need a car in Patmos?
Not essential, but useful if you want to reach quieter beaches beyond Chora and Grikos at your own pace. Rental desks sit right at Skala port, and buses from the same stop run to Chora, Grikos and Kambos around six times a day, with taxis filling the gaps. Roads are well maintained and quiet, so driving is easy. Compare suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Patmos to Chios ferry
- Some island routes operate a reduced winter schedule from late October to late March – always confirm the schedule before building a winter itinerary.
- Deck class on an overnight route can mean sleeping across several chairs in the saloon; it works but is not restful – an assigned reclining seat is much better.
- Parking at major ports is available but fills quickly in summer – if leaving your car, book a parking spot in advance or arrive very early.
