Getting from Alexandroupoli to Oinousses

If you are heading to Oinousses from Alexandroupoli you are making your way to a small cluster of islands just off the northeastern coast of Chios in the northeastern Aegean, relatively close to Alexandroupoli in geographic terms. 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 Alexandroupoli to Oinousses. Oinousses is accessible only via Chios, with a daily local ferry from Chios main port taking around 1 hour. The most practical sea approach is to take the ferry from Alexandroupoli to Lemnos, which runs several times a week, and then connect to Chios from Lemnos by the local ferry network, before taking the daily boat across to Oinousses.

Getting there by air

Oinousses has no airport. The nearest airport is Chios, which has connections from Athens and Lemnos. Flying from Alexandroupoli to Lemnos and then directly to Chios, followed by the local ferry to Oinousses taking around 1 hour, gives a total journey time of around 4 to 5 hours and avoids Athens entirely.

Your best option

Fly from Alexandroupoli to Lemnos and then fly directly to Chios, then take the local ferry across to Oinousses. The direct Lemnos to Chios connection avoids Athens entirely and is the fastest approach. 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.
