The Andros to Tinos ferry is one of the more straightforward crossings in the Cyclades – a short hop between two islands with very different characters, connected by a reliable year-round service. Andros, the northernmost of the Cyclades and the closest to the Attica mainland, sits just a short sail away from Tinos, an island that draws pilgrims, marble craftsmen, and curious travellers in roughly equal measure. If you're combining both islands in one trip, the return Tinos to Andros ferry makes the same crossing in reverse.
Throughout the year there are 7 ferries per day on average. In summer (June–August), this increases to 8 per day, while winter sees around 2 per day.

Tips for the Andros–Tinos Ferry
- Gavrio port is not Andros Town – Chora lies around 32km away on the opposite coast, roughly a 50-minute drive. If you're heading there, check KTEL bus times or arrange a taxi rather than assuming a short hop.
- A KTEL Andros bus meets arriving ferries at Gavrio and runs on to Batsi, Chora and Korthi, but departures from the port can run about 15 minutes late whenever the ferry itself is delayed.
- If you are travelling with a car, check in at Gavrio at least an hour before your sailing – vehicle queues build well before departure, and boarding for cars closes earlier than for foot passengers.
- Snacks in your bag reduce dependency on the onboard cafeteria and save money – nuts, crackers, fruit, and chocolate travel well.
- In Tinos, the Church of Panagia Evangelistria in the island's main town is one of the most revered pilgrimage sites in the Orthodox world, drawing hundreds of thousands of faithful each year. Beyond the port, the island's marble-carved villages and the distinctive marble-latticed dovecotes of the countryside make for rewarding exploration.

Do you need a car in Tinos?
Not strictly, since Tinos has one of the Cyclades' better bus networks and buses reach most villages from Tinos Town, but only a handful of times a day. With well over 30 villages scattered across the island and many worth a stop, a hire car gives you the freedom to see more than the three or four the bus timetable allows; compare suppliers at Discover Cars.
Do you need a car in Andros?
Practically, yes. The ferry lands at Gavrio in the northwest, while the capital Chora sits around 32km away on the opposite coast, too far for casual bus-hopping between villages. Rental offices operate near the port, and supply tightens in August, so book ahead. Compare suppliers at Discover Cars.
