Chois Port Car Hire

Chios port is the island's pulsing hub where ferries from Piraeus and Çeşme in Turkey arrive daily, and with 3 rental companies in the port area you can get started immediately upon arrival. The port is located in the northern part of Chios town, just 2 km from the center. A rental car here gives you the freedom to explore the entire island without being dependent on limited bus connections.

From the port area it's just a 5-minute drive to Chios medieval castle and the genuine Kampochora region with its aristocratic mansions. North along the coast you'll reach the picturesque village of Langada and its fishing boats in about 15 km. Rent a car directly when the ferry docks – it's easiest to walk to the rental company offices along the harbor promenade.

Choose a small car if you plan to drive into the narrow alleys in the mastic villages to the south. Check opening hours with the 3 rental companies, especially if you're arriving on an evening ferry from Piraeus. Can I pick up a rental car directly at Chios port?
