The Mykonos to Tinos ferry route is one of the most convenient crossings in the Cyclades, linking two islands with very different characters. Mykonos is all nightlife and glamour; Tinos is quieter, more spiritual, and genuinely off the well-worn tourist trail. The ferry connects them in a short hop across the Aegean, and because the service runs daily throughout the season, it’s easy to build this crossing into almost any island itinerary.
Departures run from March through to October. At the height of summer you can expect around 13 sailings a day, giving you plenty of flexibility to choose a crossing that suits your plans. Shoulder months see fewer options — around 10 a day in October — but the route remains well-served throughout the season.
