Tinos to Kythnos Route Map
Tinos and Kythnos sit at opposite ends of the northern and western Cyclades, yet a direct ferry connection makes the crossing straightforward. You leave the marble streets and pilgrimage churches of Tinos behind and arrive on an island that most visitors still haven't discovered -- which is precisely the point. Kythnos rewards the traveller who seeks authentic Cycladic life over crowds and Instagram queues.
Ferries run throughout the year, with one sailing per day on average. It's worth noting that Thursday sees limited service, so if your dates are flexible, plan around that. Book ahead during the summer months when island-hopping traffic picks up across the Cyclades.

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 Kythnos 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.
- A wide-brimmed hat provides better sun protection than a baseball cap on the open deck of a moving ferry, where the sun comes from multiple angles.
- In Kythnos, the unique double sandy beach of Kolona – a narrow strip of sand connecting the island to the islet of Agios Loukas – is one of the most unusual bathing spots in the Cyclades. The village of Loutra is known for its therapeutic thermal springs, used since ancient times, while the car-free Chora is a classic Cycladic hilltop settlement.
