Getting from Aegina to Oinousses

If you are heading to Oinousses from Aegina you are making your way to a small cluster of islands just off the northeastern coast of Chios, in the northeastern Aegean. It has a naval tradition that produced a disproportionate share of Greece's great shipping dynasties and almost no tourist infrastructure.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Aegina to Oinousses. The island is accessible only via Chios, with a daily local ferry from Chios main port taking around 1 hour. Getting to Chios from Aegina means taking the Saronic ferry from Aegina to Piraeus, which takes around 40 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes, and then flying or taking the overnight ferry from Piraeus to Chios.

Getting there by air

Oinousses has no airport. The nearest airport is Chios. Taking the Saronic ferry from Aegina to Piraeus, the metro to Athens Airport and flying to Chios takes around 50 minutes in the air, followed by the local ferry to Oinousses taking around 1 hour. Total travel time is around 5 to 6 hours.

Your best option

Take the Saronic ferry from Aegina to Piraeus, fly to Chios and take the local ferry across to Oinousses.
