The Ios to Tinos ferry route links two of the Cyclades’ most rewarding islands — party-loving Ios in the south and the deeply spiritual, marble-rich Tinos further north. It is a crossing that takes you from one mood of the Greek islands to another entirely. Ferries run from May through to October, so there is no winter service on this route.

During the season you can count on around two ferries a day in peak summer, with the shoulder months of May and October seeing slightly thinner scheduling. Book ahead in July and August when demand across the Cyclades runs high.

Tips for the Ios–Tinos Ferry

  • If you are travelling with a pram or pushchair, store it in the designated vehicle area or a corridor space – it will not fit in the overhead racks.
  • Save your e-ticket to your phone’s offline storage or take a screenshot before you reach the port, as mobile data can be patchy at the quayside.
  • 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.
