Ferry from Ios to Tinos

The Ios to Tinos ferry route links two of the Cyclades’ most rewarding islands — party-loving Ios in the south and the deeply spiritual, marble-rich Tinos further north. It is a crossing that takes you from one mood of the Greek islands to another entirely. Ferries run from May through to October, so there is no winter service on this route.

During the season you can count on around two ferries a day in peak summer, with the shoulder months of May and October seeing slightly thinner scheduling. Book ahead in July and August when demand across the Cyclades runs high.

Hiring a car

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.

Can you rent a car in Ios?

Yes. The port sits about 2km from Chora, with rental desks at both. A car isn't essential for the Chora to Mylopotas stretch, which is walkable and bus-served, but it's worth having to reach quieter spots like Manganari beach, roughly 19km to the south. Check current rates at Discover Cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Ios to Tinos ferry

• The port at Ormos sits about 2km below Chora – roughly a five-minute drive, a 20-minute walk, or a short bus ride from the stop just along the road from the ferry quay.
• Arrive at Ormos port at least an hour before departure in summer – traffic builds up around the port and you'll want time to secure a good deck or lounge seat before boarding.
• Ormos port has its own supermarkets, cafes, ATMs and car or motorbike hire outlets, so you can wait comfortably, withdraw cash or pick up rental transport without leaving the harbour area.
• Return tickets on the same operator are sometimes cheaper than two separate one-way fares – compare both options before confirming.
• In Tinos, the Church of Panagia Evangelistria in the island's main town is one of the most revered pilgrimage sites in the Orthodox world, drawing hundreds of thousands of faithful each year. Beyond the port, the island's marble-carved villages and the distinctive marble-latticed dovecotes of the countryside make for rewarding exploration.
