Tinos and Mykonos sit barely apart in the Cyclades, and the ferry between them is one of the easiest inter-island hops you can make in Greece. The two islands contrast sharply in character: Tinos is quietly spiritual, its hilltop basilica drawing Greek Orthodox pilgrims year-round, while Mykonos trades in glamour, golden beaches and a nightlife scene that runs later than almost anywhere on the Aegean. Taking the ferry gives you both in a single day if you want them.
Sailings run throughout the year, though the frequency shifts considerably with the season. In winter you will find around three departures a day, which is enough to make the crossing but not much room for spontaneity. From late spring onwards the schedule expands quickly, and at the height of summer you can count on more than twelve daily sailings. Across all months, the average works out at roughly ten ferries a day — which puts this comfortably among the better-connected routes in the islands.

Tips for the Tinos–Mykonos Ferry
- If you have a connecting ferry at Mykonos, check the departure board the moment you disembark. Confirm both the time and the gate — vessels can depart from different sections of the harbour and the turnarounds in summer are often tighter than you expect.
- Load large bags onto the vessel before you look for a seat. Once the corridors fill up, manoeuvring a big rucksack or wheeled case through narrow passageways is awkward for you and everyone around you.
- Prices in the onboard cafe are noticeably higher than anything you will find ashore. Pick up water, fruit and something to eat from a Tinos supermarket before you board — it saves money on even a short crossing like this one.
- When you arrive in Mykonos, the windmills above Little Venice and the winding lanes of Chora are most enjoyable in the morning before day-trippers arrive in numbers. If you are staying overnight, Paradise Beach comes into its own later in the day and into the evening — it is the liveliest stretch of coast on the island.
