Chios, the island having the half-moon form, is best known for its unusual black coast created by volcanic lava, the endless fields of wild tulips, and luxurious pistachio groves. Travelers appreciate this destination for the Temple of Fanaios Apollo, the landmark of the 19th century BC, the “Mystery of the North Aegean” (an abandoned medieval Anavatos village), and the Monastery of “Nea Moni,” the site of the 11th century, boasting impressive Byzantine frescoes.
The picturesque Chios Port provides easy access to Psara, Limnos, Fourni, Lesbos, Samos, Ikaria, the islands of the Dodecanese Archipelago, and the Cyclades. Some ferries deliver travelers to the resorts in Spain and Turkey.
The construction of the Chios Port was approved in 1952. The works kept on going up to 1985. The port building sits in the central-eastern part of the island, within the lines of Chios city.
The deck for yachts, boats, fishing vessels, and sailing boats is located in the southern part of the port. It is a perfect place for travelers who want to rent a boat for a boat trip.
If you want to see the promenade in the port area, you should take a boat to get there. The island coast with the Pellinaio Mountain that is seen at a distance is worth taking a boat tour.
Near the port area, you can find a pebble beach of Bella Vista. It is popular with both the locals and travelers. It is a calm and comfortable place for recreation. You will not see crowds of people here. Furthermore, you will not hear here any noise that is typical of popular south resorts.
Chios holiday infrastructure, as well as facilities of its port, still leaves much to be improved. At the same time, there are a lot of restaurants and taverns, serving authentic Greek cuisine, as well as a diverse choice of souvenir shops. It is not a big problem for a traveler to find a hostel or a hotel by the beach here.
“Chios port capital” is an ideal holiday destination for recreation with children. It is also a great location for people, looking for relaxation at a secluded seashore.

The taxi fares from Chios Airport to the port are relatively small for Greece. At the same time, you should keep it in mind that there are many hidden fees and surcharges: for waiting during the aircraft landing, loading of baggage, the time of day, a weekend day or a public holiday. Some Greek taxi providers do not announce the availability of surcharges at once. As a result, the cost of a trip turns out much higher.
Pay attention that not all Chios taxi drivers know at least a few words in English. It will be great if you know spoken Greek to find common ground with them.
A transfer on Chios Island is a comfortable taxi that is available for reservation. It picks up a passenger right after the aircraft landing at the airport or any other point on the island, and delivers to the port with the minimal losses of time. A trip via public transport can hardly compete with trips on transfer taxis. Air conditioning, clean drinking water, a pleasant driver, and music are waiting for you inside a transfer taxi.
