Chios Island National Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended…

Omiros airport is just 3 km from the centre of Chios: 15-20 minutes on foot for those travelling light, 5 minutes and 16-20 euros by taxi, with no dedicated bus service. The city is almost always the most convenient base, with the port and the historic centre a stone's throw from the terminal; the district of Kampos, a few km further south among the citrus groves and the villas of the nineteenth-century merchants, remains an equally close alternative for those seeking more peace and quiet.
