Getting from Agathonisi to Oinousses

If you are heading to Oinousses from Agathonisi you are making your way from the northern Dodecanese group 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 Agathonisi to Oinousses. Oinousses is accessible only via Chios, with a daily local ferry from Chios main port taking around 1 hour. Both Agathonisi and Samos are connected to Chios via the wider Aegean ferry network, so the most practical approach is to take the local ferry from Agathonisi to Samos and then connect to Chios, from where you take the local ferry across to Oinousses.

Getting there by air

Oinousses has no airport. The nearest airport is Chios. Taking the local ferry from Agathonisi to Samos, flying to Athens and then Athens to Chios, followed by the local ferry to Oinousses taking around 1 hour, gives a total journey time of around 6 to 7 hours. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.

Your best option

Take the local ferry from Agathonisi to Samos, fly to Athens and then fly to Chios and take the local ferry across to Oinousses. Check the daily ferry schedule from Chios before booking your flights and plan your Chios arrival around the afternoon departure. Give yourself at least two nights on Oinousses and bring everything you need with you.
