Tinos to Lavrio Route Map
Tinos to Lavrio is a long haul of around seven hours on the Artemis, the Hellenic Seaways ferry that works the quieter western Cyclades line. It is a multi-stop sailing rather than a direct run to the mainland, which is where most of the time goes. The Artemis is a modest conventional ferry with deck space, seating and vehicle capacity, and fares on this route are low.
Lavrio is a port town on the south-east coast of Attica, near Sounio, and a secondary Athens-area gateway alongside Piraeus and Rafina. It is a historic mining town, built on the ancient silver mines, and the Temple of Poseidon at Sounio is a short drive south along the coast. The port sits well away from central Athens, which suits drivers wanting to avoid Piraeus traffic but means a longer transfer for anyone without a car.
The service runs only about once a fortnight, so it is a route to check rather than assume. Current departure times and fares are shown in the timetable below. Tinos has far more frequent connections to Rafina, which is closer to Athens airport and better served by bus.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car at Lavrio port?
Rental desks at Lavrio itself are scarce; the port is a working harbour about 60km southeast of Athens and roughly 40km from Athens airport, a 30-40 minute drive. Most people picking up a car for a Cycladic ferry from here collect it at the airport or in Athens beforehand, or arrange supplier delivery to the port; compare options at Discover Cars.
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 Lavrio 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.
- Some routes in the Dodecanese chain only operate in full summer mode from June; May sailings may be less frequent than the website implies.
- The meltemi blows from the north-north-west; routes that run east–west are more exposed than those running north–south along a chain of islands.
