Ferry from Mykonos (Tourlos) to Tinos

Tinos sits just 15 nautical miles from Mykonos, making it one of the most rewarding and effortless island hops in the Cyclades. The crossing takes well under an hour, the views across the blue Aegean are excellent, and the contrast between the two islands could hardly be starker -- Mykonos glamorous and relentless, Tinos quiet, deeply spiritual, and genuinely off the tourist trail by comparison.

The Mykonos to Tinos ferry route runs daily throughout the season. In the height of summer you can choose from around 13 departures a day, so there is no need to plan too rigidly -- turn up at the port, pick a convenient sailing, and you are away. Shoulder months bring slightly fewer options, with around 10 daily crossings in October and as few as 3 in March, so a little forward planning pays off at either end of the season.

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.

Is it worth hiring a car on Mykonos?

Worth it if you plan to reach beaches like Elia or Kalafatis and the far side of the island, since buses run less often outside town. New Port is about 3km from Chora, roughly a 13-minute drive, and Chora itself is pedestrian-only so you park on the edge and walk in. Quad bikes are a popular alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Mykonos (Tourlos) to Tinos ferry

• Most scheduled ferries – including those to Piraeus, Rafina, Santorini and Naxos – dock at the New Port at Tourlos, roughly 3km north of town, not the Old Port in Mykonos Town itself; check your ticket before heading out.
• During July and August arrive at the New Port at least an hour before departure – ferries here fill quickly, queues for ticket collection build fast, and boarding gates close without much warning.
• A sea bus links the New Port at Tourlos with the Old Port near town in about eight minutes, running regularly through the day; it carries luggage, so it's a reliable option if a taxi isn't available.
• Taxis are scarce on Mykonos and demand regularly outstrips supply at the port, especially in high season, so budget extra time or use the public bus or sea bus into town instead of relying on finding one.
• 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.
