Fleet and onboard experience

Meander Travel operates small passenger vessels on the cross-border Chios-Cesme line, with deck seating and basic indoor lounges. The crossing is short, around 30 to 45 minutes, so onboard amenities are minimal. Chios-Oinousses sailings use small ROPAX vessels appropriate for short Eastern Aegean hops.

SimpleFerry issues a booking confirmation. For cross-border Chios-Cesme crossings passengers should be at the port 1 hour before departure with a valid passport (Turkish visa where applicable). Customs and police checks are mandatory for the Chios-Cesme leg.
