The last known sailing on this route was on 4 October 2026.

No timetable beyond that date has been published yet. Greek operators often release the next season’s schedules only a few months ahead, so this can be a seasonal pause rather than the end of the route. Check whether it is currently available to book through Ferryscanner.

Historically, this route ran about 0.7 sailings a day in August 2025, about 0.4 sailings a day in September 2025, about 1 sailings a day in June 2026, about 1 sailings a day in July 2026, about 1.3 sailings a day in August 2026, about 1 sailings a day in September 2026.

Seajets runs the fast crossing from Heraklio to Tinos in around four and three quarter hours, using large high-speed catamarans such as the Worldchampion Jet and Champions League Jet 2. These are vehicle-carrying fast craft with airline-style seating, so the ride is quick but almost entirely indoors. Fares start around €87, which is the price of the speed.

Tinos sits in the northern Cyclades near Mykonos and Syros and is best known as Greece's principal Orthodox pilgrimage site. The church of Panagia Evangelistria stands on the rise above the harbour and is visible from arriving ferries, with the main street running straight up to it from the quay. Away from the town the island is quieter than its neighbours, with marble-carving villages, hundreds of ornate dovecotes and a good run of beaches.

Sailings run roughly daily in season, tailing off sharply outside it. Current departures and fares are shown below. Tinos is one of the busiest ferry hubs in the Cyclades, and it gets very heavily booked around 15 August for the Assumption pilgrimage, so plan well ahead if you are travelling then.
