Chios Marina
Visiting by boat
Chios Marina sits right in the heart of the city, fully woven into the urban fabric of Chios town — this isn't some remote anchorage, it's where locals actually hang out. A brand-new facility (expected to wrap up late 2026) is being built just 2 km from the town center and 5 km from the airport, bringing modern amenities to one of the Aegean's most underrated islands, known for its mastic villages, medieval architecture, and laid-back vibe.
From the marina's website, checked Oct 12. Confirm with the marina before arrival.
