The main (and indeed only) harbour in the island group is the ferry port of Mandraki on the south side of Oinoussa. There are no dangers in the approach to Mandraki from S or E. In the approach from N or W, however, the rocky islet of Vrk Prasonisia and a shoal patch just over half a mile SE of it need to be given a wide berth. In the approach from N, gusting will often be experienced in the narrow channel between Oinoussa and Chios, especially with winds from W round to NE. Once close in, the conspicuous blue church of Agios Nikolaos at the centre of the town will be seen through the gap in the islands and a further white church on the easternmost of the three small islands that protect the harbour from W and S, Nisos Mandraki. At the extreme S tip of Nisos Mandraki (visible only when rounding the island if approaching from N or W) is a small bronze statue of a mermaid perched on an isolated rock. | The main (and indeed only) harbour in the island group is the ferry port of Mandraki on the south side of Oinoussa.

Oinousses
| |
| |
Oinoussa (Οινούσσα) is the main island of a group of nine islands, the Oinousses (Οινούσσες) group, situated just over a mile off the NE coast of the Greek island of Chios and separated from it by a narrow channel, the Stenou Oinoussoun. The island’s main claim to fame is that it is the birthplace of several of the most wealthy Greek ship owning families, including the wealthiest of all, the Lemos clan, statues of the various members of which can be found all over the town. During August there is usually a "gathering of the clans" and the large natural harbour of Mandraki on the S side of the island can often be crammed to bursting with yachts and motor yachts of all sizes. Outside these times the harbour is usually very quiet and visiting yachts rarely have any problems finding a berth anchor moored on its long "yacht club" jetty or lying alongside one of the extensive and well-maintained quays. At the north end of the harbour is a large naval boarding school, accounting for the numerous youngsters with cropped haircuts usually seen around the town. Shelter in the harbour is excellent in winds from any direction, although, as with most Aegean harbours, gusts will be experienced with a strong meltemi.

Passages
Oinoussa is conveniently placed 40 miles SSW of the island of Lesvos and 15 miles N of the headland of Karaabdullah Burnu on the Turkish coast at the S end of the Chios Channel. It is thus a handy stopping off point on a cruise between Lesvos and the island of Samos 55 miles SE or the harbours of Ayvalik or Eskifoca and Sigacik or Kusadasi on the adjoining Turkish coast.
Islands
Numerous small islets off the E coast of Oinoussa.
Communication
Also see World Cruiser's Nets.
The main (and indeed only) harbour in the island group is the ferry port of Mandraki on the south side of Oinoussa. There are no dangers in the approach to Mandraki from S or E. In the approach from N or W, however, the rocky islet of Vrk Prasonisia and a shoal patch just over half a mile SE of it need to be given a wide berth. In the approach from N, gusting will often be experienced in the narrow channel between Oinoussa and Chios, especially with winds from W round to NE. Once close in, the conspicuous blue church of Agios Nikolaos at the centre of the town will be seen through the gap in the islands and a further white church on the easternmost of the three small islands that protect the harbour from W and S, Nisos Mandraki. At the extreme S tip of Nisos Mandraki (visible only when rounding the island if approaching from N or W) is a small bronze statue of a mermaid perched on an isolated rock.
Berthing
Ports
Mandraki
Mandraki is a large natural harbour that provides good all-round shelter, improved by a rubble breakwater and a natural sand bar connecting the three islands on the W side of the harbour and two concrete breakwaters protecting it from E. The harbour is entered from E, passing the mermaid to port and continuing on a dog leg course between these breakwaters. Do not be tempted by the narrow channel at the NW end of the harbour – it is shallow and used by small fishing boats only.
Yachts have several mooring options in Mandraki. At the NW end of the harbour there is a long concrete jetty with a 'yacht club' at its root which can accommodate around a dozen yachts on anchor moor, either stern or bows-to. Depths are around 3.0 metres, although they shoal to around 2.5 metres towards the end of the jetty. Yachts can also moor alongside the adjacent quay immediately E of the jetty, where there is room for 2/3 yachts in 3.0 metres before the fishing boat moorings start, or alongside the large ferry jetty at the root of the northern breakwater, clear of the area at the S end where the ferry berths. A further 3/4 yachts can moor alongside here. Depths at this quay are 4.0 – 5.0 metres. Finally, the harbour is large enough to anchor off if preferred in 4.0 – 5.0 metres. The holding is good in mud and sand. Shelter in the harbour is excellent from all directions.Marinas & Yacht Clubs
There is a "yacht club" in Mandraki, which is really more of a café/bar than a formally constituted yacht club. It offers a good bar, café meals, free wifi and toilets and is very welcoming to visiting yachts.
Anchorages
There are several anchorages on the W side of the main island of Oinoussa and others dotted among the small islands to the E of Oinoussa. A large scale chart is an advantage, particularly if exploring the ones to the E, since there are numerous reefs and shoals around the coast.
