About the MykonosChios crossing

The Mykonos to Chios ferry is an unusual crossing that ties the cosmopolitan Cyclades to the North-East Aegean. It is not a standalone shuttle but a single leg of Blue Star Ferries' long North Aegean trunk line, which runs from Piraeus up through the islands toward Lesvos, Limnos and the mainland at Kavala. As a result, sailings on this pairing are sparse, on the order of a few departures per week rather than daily.

Operator and vessel

The route is operated by Blue Star Ferries with a large conventional car ferry such as the Blue Star Myconos (built 2005, roughly 141 metres long, with capacity for around 1,900 passengers and several hundred vehicles). This is a traditional slow ferry, not a high-speed catamaran, so it offers cabins, seating lounges, bars, shops and a self-service restaurant for the long haul, and it comfortably carries cars, motorbikes and freight.

Route, duration and frequency

Mykonos is a Cyclades stop on the line, while Chios sits well to the north-east off the Turkish coast. The crossing between them typically takes around 6 hours, and longer on itineraries that call at intermediate islands such as Ikaria, Fourni or Samos on the way, where total times can approach or exceed eight hours.

  • Departure: Mykonos, Cyclades
  • Arrival: Chios, North-East Aegean
  • Frequency: only a few sailings per week, often with morning departures
  • Vessel type: conventional car ferry with cabins

The line operates broadly year-round as part of Blue Star's network, with the most departures added in the summer months; even so, the specific Mykonos-Chios connection remains infrequent, so planning ahead matters. Because it is one segment of a much longer rotation, exact departure days, the set of intermediate stops and the total sailing time vary week to week. Always confirm the current timetable for your travel dates before booking.
