Oinousses is a group of 9 small islands and is located between Chios and the Turkish shores. Most maps of Greece show this group of islands as a small dot. The biggest of the islands is Oinoussa. However, the most commonly name used by its local residents is “Egnoussa”. The name Oinousses comes from the Greek word Oinos (wine) -- which means a place full of wine. It has traditional architecture, lovely beaches and calm environment. Because of the heavy taxation imposed by the Ottomans, most of the locals became sailors; thus, the first commercial Greek steamboats were owned by Oinoussians, who wrote the first chapter of the history of modern Greek shipping. Most of them eventually became ship owners, and even today, some of the most well-recognized ship owners worldwide come from Oinousses.
