Best time to take the ferry from Çeşme to Chios

Ferry or flight from Çeşme to Chios?

For most passengers on this route the ferry is the better way: it leaves from the port in Çeşme and lands you in Chios itself, carries as much luggage as you can wheel and the car, and turns the journey into part of the holiday. A flight only wins when the crossing is long and time is short. Haqqi Tours arranges flights too, and says honestly which is better for your dates.

Return ferry from Chios to Çeşme

We book the return crossing from Chios to Çeşme just as easily, typically on the same confirmation. Round-trip fares and open returns are cheaper on many operators, so booking both directions together saves money. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much does the ferry from Çeşme to Chios cost?

Ferry prices from Çeşme to Chios move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we check the fare for the day you want to sail and send it on WhatsApp before you decide.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, vehicle, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is often the best value for a family.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Çeşme to Chios: how to pay less

The cheapest ferry ticket from Çeşme to Chios is generally on the conventional ferry, booked early, on a weekday outside the peak weeks. These are the rules our staff applies:

• Tell us if your dates are flexible; moving by a day often changes the fare
• Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
• Price the crossing with and without the car - for two people a rental at the other end is sometimes cheaper
• Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
• Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
• Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and often more scenic

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which sailing is the cheapest ferry from Çeşme to Chios that day and how much a different day would save.

Timetable and season of the Çeşme to Chios ferry

Several a day - that is how frequently the ferry from Çeşme to Chios runs, with more departures in summer and fewer, sometimes weather-dependent, in winter. Allow about 30 minutes at sea plus check-in at the port. Timetables change between seasons, so we send the exact departures for the date you travel rather than a list that may be out of date.

Sea conditions matter on this route: strong winds can delay or cancel high-speed boats while the conventional ferries keep sailing. When the forecast is poor we tell you and, if you prefer, book the steadier vessel.

Departure: Çeşme port

Your crossing starts at Çeşme port. Large ports have several gates and the boarding gate is announced on the boards and on the ticket; we send the gate and the check-in time with your confirmation. Coaches run from ADB to Çeşme bus station, a taxi from the beach hotels, and the İZBAN train does not reach the peninsula; the motorway drive is quick, and a pre-booked car goes to the hotel door.

• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure; vehicles 60-90 minutes
• Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
• Luggage is carried free within the operator's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Çeşme port; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing

Arrival: Chios town harbour

You step off at Chios town harbour. Taxis and buses meet the boats. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your hotel.

Many travellers continue from Chios to another island or city. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Car ferries, with airline-style seats, lounges, a café or restaurant and open decks on the larger ships; overnight vessels add cabins with beds and showers. Cars, motorbikes and bicycles travel on the vehicle deck and you go up to the passenger decks for the crossing. Luggage is not weighed; you keep it with you or on the racks. Haqqi Tours explains the seat and cabin options for the exact ship you are booking so you pay for what you will use.

• Cabins with beds and showers on overnight sailings - two to four berths
• Café, bar or restaurant on most vessels; open decks on the conventional ferries
• Vehicles on the car deck - give us the car's length and height when booking
• Children's fares by age; infants normally free

Things to do in Chios after the ferry
