How to Get from Chios Airport to Chios Town

Chios Airport is in Kontari, while the airport authority’s taxi fare information refers to central Chios as the town destination. The airport’s postal address is 94 Enoseos Avenue, 821 32 Kontari, Chios. If you are staying at Castro Rooms, the airport is about 3.4 km away; the reported drive is about 11 minutes.

That distance makes it worth deciding on a transfer before landing, particularly with a connection or a specific arrival plan. For a broader picture of local transport, how to get around Chios town and the island is useful context.

The bus and taxi are the two airport transfer options described by the airport and local transport information. The Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority identifies a Chios City Bus (KTEL) stop in front of the airport. Chios City Bus also has an “Airport” section on its schedules page, so check that timetable for a service that matches your arrival.

For a taxi, the airport authority publishes an indicative fare of €8 to central Chios. Its English and Greek pages show conflicting indicative prices, with the Greek page also displaying €6, so confirm the fare before setting off.

The authority gives the Radio Taxi number as +30 22710-41111 and mobile numbers as +30 6984969119, +30 6908386900 and +30 6949904885. It does not identify an exact terminal pickup point on its English page; contact the service to arrange where to meet.

Check the Chios City Bus “Airport” timetable against your flight’s arrival time rather than relying on a general town schedule. The airport authority also provides a link to operating hours for Chios Airport; check the official site before you go.

For direct confirmation of bus schedule information, the airport authority gives the Chios City Bus number as +30 22710-22079. For airport enquiries, the numbers are +30 22710-81400, +30 22710-81402 and +30 22710-81405.

For a late arrival or bulky luggage, confirm transport before boarding: check the bus timetable and taxi arrangements. The airport authority provides Radio Taxi contact numbers, but does not give an exact taxi pickup point at the terminal. Contact the taxi service to confirm the meeting place if arranging a pickup.

If you need assistance at the airport, Swissport Handling provides assistance for passengers with special needs. For plans after reaching town, the Chios Town neighbourhood guide can help you orient yourself around the different parts of the centre.

Once in town, use the accommodation address to plan the final leg rather than assuming the airport bus or taxi drops you at the door.

If you are heading to Castro Rooms, Chios city centre is about 8 minutes away on foot or about 2 minutes by car from the hotel. Keep the arrival address handy to choose the right onward transfer.
