Psara to Chios Route Map
Psara to Chios takes anywhere from just under three hours to nearly four, depending on which vessel and routing you get. The local Psara Glory, run by Agia Marini I Shipping, works the line alongside Hellenic Seaways' Nissos Samos. Fares start around €10, and this is the island's main connection to the outside world.
Chios is a large North Aegean island close to the Turkish coast, with a Genoese-era castle above the town harbour and a genuinely distinctive interior. The medieval mastic villages of Mesta and Pyrgi, the latter with its geometric sgraffito facades, and the Nea Moni monastery are the standout sights. It is a working island rather than a holiday one.
The service runs most days in season, and the current timetable and fares are shown below. Chios Town is where you pick up onward ferries to Piraeus, Lesvos and Turkey, so most Psara itineraries route through it. Weather can disrupt this crossing in the shoulder seasons, so leave slack before a flight.

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.

- Onboard announcements are made in Greek first and English second; if you miss the English version, ask a fellow passenger what was said.
- Card payments are accepted at most onboard bars and cafeterias on modern ferries; older vessels may be cash-only – have some euros in your pocket.
- If you are joining a longer island-hopping route and not returning to the same base, travel with everything you need from the start – you cannot go back for forgotten items.
- Sun loungers or open deck chairs are available on most large ferries – these are extremely popular in summer and fill quickly after departure.
