- Frequency: 3 to 15 ferries per day depending on the season.
- Sailing days: Daily service.
Tinos sits just 15 nautical miles from Mykonos, making it one of the most rewarding and effortless island hops in the Cyclades. The crossing takes well under an hour, the views across the blue Aegean are excellent, and the contrast between the two islands could hardly be starker -- Mykonos glamorous and relentless, Tinos quiet, deeply spiritual, and genuinely off the tourist trail by comparison.
The Mykonos to Tinos ferry route runs daily throughout the season. In the height of summer you can choose from around 13 departures a day, so there is no need to plan too rigidly -- turn up at the port, pick a convenient sailing, and you are away. Shoulder months bring slightly fewer options, with around 10 daily crossings in October and as few as 3 in March, so a little forward planning pays off at either end of the season.

Tips for the Mykonos–Tinos Ferry
- Get to the port at least 30 minutes before your sailing -- boarding closes shortly before departure, and the last thing you want is to watch your ferry pull away from the quay.
- Economy deck class is all you need on this crossing. It is cheap, perfectly comfortable, and gives you access to indoor seating, the outside decks, and all the onboard facilities. Save the cabin upgrade for a long overnight run.
- Make time for the Church of Panagia Evangelistria when you arrive in Tinos town -- it is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the Orthodox Christian world, and the atmosphere is genuinely moving even if you are not religious. Beyond the port, the island rewards slow exploration: whitewashed marble-carved villages, and the extraordinary marble-latticed dovecotes scattered across the countryside that are unlike anything else in the Aegean.
