One of the greatest luxuries of staying at Kalvokoresi 16 Suites is our strategic location—just 300 meters from the central port. This proximity makes the Aegean your backyard, allowing you to transition from the refined comfort to the deck of a boat in mere minutes.
Chios is surrounded by two distinct nautical neighbors, each representing a different chapter of the Greek soul. Whether you seek the aristocratic quiet of a shipowning dynasty or the rugged heroism of a revolutionary rock, these islands are the ultimate "hidden gems" of the Northern Aegean.

Oinousses is an idyllic cluster of small islands known globally as the "Island of Billionaires". This is the ancestral home of Greece’s most powerful shipping families.
• The Experience: Stepping onto the harbor of Oinousses feels like entering a private, open-air gallery of maritime history. The settlement is characterized by elegant architecture and a sense of refined prestige. I highly recommend a visit to the Maritime Museum of Oinousses, which houses an incredible collection of model ships built by French prisoners during the Napoleonic Wars.
• The Best Way to Go: While ferries leave from Chios Port, for a more exclusive experience, drive 20 minutes north to the fishing village of Lagkada. From there, you can take a sea taxi and reach Oinousses in just 20 minutes, enjoying a private crossing of the strait.

If Oinousses represents the wealth of the sea, Psara represents its fire. This small, rugged island was one of the three great naval powers during the 1822 Greek Revolution. It is the birthplace of the legendary "fire-ship" captains who changed the course of history.
• The Experience: Psara is a place for the traveler who seeks absolute quiet and deep historical resonance. You can visit the historic sites of the revolution or discover Mycenaean tombs that prove the island has been inhabited for millennia. The coastline is dotted with pristine, uncrowded beaches that look back toward the west coast of Chios.
• The Atmosphere: There is a unique, weightless energy here. It is the perfect destination for those looking to disconnect from the modern world and walk through a "living" monument of Greek independence.

For our guests who appreciate the uncompromising quality of a private voyage, the waters between Chios, Oinousses, and Psara are a yachting paradise. With crystal-clear depths and reliable summer winds (Meltemia), it is a world-class destination for sailing.
You can charter a sailboat with a skipper to "tuck into" secluded coves that are inaccessible by road, discovering emerald waters and medieval watchtowers from the sea. It is a way of life that matches the pioneering spirit of our suites.
There is something transformative about being on the water, but the true luxury is knowing that your modern residence is waiting for you at the end of the day. After a day spent hopping between islands or sailing the Aegean blue, return to Kalvokoresi 16 to rinse away the salt under your premium Italian shower.
Warm Regards,
