FERRY TO CHIOS ISLAND

ISLAND of MASTIHA

Welcome to your gateway to Chios, the legendary Island of Mastiha. Just a short ferry ride from Cesme, Chios awaits with its unique blend of medieval villages, aromatic mastiha groves, pristine Aegean beaches, and a living cultural heritage that spans thousands of years.

Whether you're planning a day trip from the Turkish coast or a longer island holiday, Meander Feribot makes getting to Chios effortless. Daily ferry departures, comfortable vessels, and an approximate crossing time of just 20 - 30 minutes mean your Greek island adventure begins the moment you step aboard.

Chios

Chios is the fifth-largest Greek island, nestled in the eastern Aegean just 9 nautical miles from the Turkish coast. It is the only place in the world where mastiha, a fragrant tree resin with a Protected Designation of Origin, is naturally produced - earning the island its cherished title.

Beyond mastiha, Chios rewards curious travelers with the geometric facades of Pyrgi village, the haunting beauty of abandoned Anavatos, Byzantine monasteries like Nea Moni (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and some of the Aegean's most unspoiled beaches. Discover everything this remarkable island has to offer in our Chios island guide.
