Tinos to Kea Route Map
Tinos to Kea is not a mainstream island-hopping route but an occasional through sailing on the Hellenic Seaways ship Artemis, which threads across from the central Cyclades to the western chain. The crossing takes close to six hours, and it is a conventional ferry doing a long multi-stop run rather than anything quick. Take it as a slow day at sea rather than a transfer.
Kea, known locally as Tzia, is the closest Cycladic island to Attica and gets most of its traffic from Lavrio rather than from the other islands. Arrivals land at Korissia on the north-west coast, a small harbour with a beach beside it and the hilltop capital, Ioulida, a short drive inland. It is a quiet, walker's island, popular with Athenians at weekends and much less geared to international tourism than its neighbours.
The link runs only a couple of times a fortnight, so it is worth planning around rather than assuming. Exact departures, the operator and current fares are listed in the table below, with prices starting around €11. If the dates do not work, the usual alternative is to route via Syros or back through Attica and cross to Kea from Lavrio.

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.

Tips for the Tinos to Kea ferry
- Tinos has two ports – most ferries now use the new port about ten minutes from town, while only the Flyingcat catamaran still departs from the old port right in Tinos Town centre. Check which one is named on your ticket.
- If you are travelling with a vehicle, check in at least an hour before departure. Foot passengers can check in from 30 minutes before sailing, though it is worth allowing extra time in Tinos during busy summer sailings.
- The port sits a short walk from the Panagia Evangelistria church, so around 15 August – the island's main pilgrimage day – expect the harbourfront and surrounding streets to be extremely crowded with visitors arriving and departing by ferry.
- Carry a smaller day bag separately from your main luggage: this holds your passport, wallet, phone, charger, sunscreen, and anything else you need during the crossing.
- Name corrections on ferry tickets are usually possible up to a few hours before departure – contact the operator promptly if you notice a spelling error.
