These are the sailings we recorded on this route from October 2025 to September 2026. They show what ran then, not a forecast: timetables change from year to year.
Hellenic Seaways call at Oinousses on some Piraeus sailings of the Nissos Samos, a passage of around nine hours. It is an overnight run on a large conventional ferry, and Oinousses is a minor stop on a longer North Aegean route rather than a destination the ship is built around. Cabins are available and worth taking on a crossing of this length.
Oinousses is a small island just off Chios, quiet and rarely visited, historically the home of several prominent Greek shipowning families. The main village shares the island's name and sits right at the harbour, with a small maritime museum reflecting that shipping heritage. There is little in the way of resort infrastructure, and that is precisely the appeal for the people who come.
Direct sailings from Piraeus are rare, a couple a fortnight at most, so most travellers reach the island on the short local boat from Chios instead. The current timetable and fares are shown in the table below, with prices starting around €31. If the direct sailing does not suit, routing via Chios gives you far more flexibility.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Piraeus?
Yes, several agencies meet passengers directly at the ferry gates (E1 to E12), so there is no need to arrange transport into central Athens first. It suits travellers continuing on to the mainland rather than islanders, since central Athens is only 20 minutes away and has good metro and bus links. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Piraeus to Oinousses ferry
- Piraeus port is large, with departure gates E1 to E10 spread along the waterfront – allow extra time to find yours, as it can be a 15–20 minute walk from the metro station, and check the gate number printed on your ticket.
- Ferries to the Saronic islands – Aegina, Hydra and the nearby islands – depart from Gate E8, while Cyclades sailings (Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Naxos) leave from gates in the E6–E10 range, so double-check your specific gate on arrival.
- Take Metro Line 1 or Line 3 to Piraeus station, then use the free shuttle bus that circulates around the port roughly every 10–15 minutes, linking the metro to all gates – useful if your ferry departs from a distant terminal such as E2 or E3.
- There is no parking inside the port itself, so if you are driving, use one of the private car parks nearby rather than looking for a space at the gate; ticket booths at each gate can print e-tickets if you have not already.
- Rain gear is rarely needed on summer ferry crossings, but a waterproof layer is worth having in spring and autumn when showers are possible.
