The crossing from Tinos to Andros is one of the most convenient short hops in the Cyclades. These two islands sit close together in the northern part of the archipelago, and the ferry connection between them reflects that proximity -- the sailing is brief, the frequency is generous, and you rarely need to plan far ahead.
Service runs every day of the year, though what that looks like depends heavily on the season. In the summer months you have serious flexibility, with up to eight departures a day giving you real freedom over your timing. Winter strips things back considerably -- typically two or three crossings a day -- but the route stays open, which makes island-hopping possible even outside the tourist season.
Throughout the year, the average sits at around six ferries per day. That figure climbs steeply from April onwards as demand picks up, peaks through the high summer, and then eases off again in October before the winter timetable takes effect. If you are travelling in spring or autumn, you will find the shoulder season offers a decent balance: reasonable frequency without the crowds.

Tips for the Tinos–Andros Ferry
- Tinos has two ports – most ferries now use the new port about ten minutes from town, while only the Flyingcat catamaran still departs from the old port right in Tinos Town centre. Check which one is named on your ticket.
- If you are travelling with a vehicle, check in at least an hour before departure. Foot passengers can check in from 30 minutes before sailing, though it is worth allowing extra time in Tinos during busy summer sailings.
- The port sits a short walk from the Panagia Evangelistria church, so around 15 August – the island's main pilgrimage day – expect the harbourfront and surrounding streets to be extremely crowded with visitors arriving and departing by ferry.
- Many island businesses (restaurants, hotels, excursion boats) close entirely from October to April; factor this in before planning an off-season island stay.
- In Andros, the elegant capital Chora rewards exploration with its cobbled lanes, neoclassical mansions, and a proud tradition of seafaring culture. Don't miss the impressive Foros Cave near Aladinos Village, reached via a beautiful 17th-century arched bridge.

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.
