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
- If the sea is choppy and you are feeling queasy, get outside. Fresh air on deck and fixing your eyes on the horizon does far more for seasickness than sitting in the enclosed saloon staring at a screen.
- Keep an eye on the weather in late spring and early summer. The sirocco -- a warm, dusty wind that blows up from North Africa -- can roll in suddenly, bringing haze and sticky heat to the harbours. It rarely sticks around for more than a day or two, but it can make a sailing uncomfortable if you catch it at the wrong moment.
- Do not assume Greek ferries shut down in winter. The domestic network keeps running year-round on most major routes -- even in January you can reach the big Cycladic islands by sea if you are prepared to work around a reduced timetable.
- Once you are in Andros, make the effort to reach the island's capital, Chora. It is a different world from the typical Cycladic postcard -- elegant neoclassical mansions, cobbled lanes, and a genuine sense of a town with history and money. While you are exploring, the Foros Cave near Aladinos Village is worth the detour; the path to it crosses a beautiful arched bridge that dates back to the 17th century.
