Ferry from Tinos to Mykonos (Tourlos)

Tinos and Mykonos sit barely apart in the Cyclades, and the ferry between them is one of the easiest inter-island hops you can make in Greece. The two islands contrast sharply in character: Tinos is quietly spiritual, its hilltop basilica drawing Greek Orthodox pilgrims year-round, while Mykonos trades in glamour, golden beaches and a nightlife scene that runs later than almost anywhere on the Aegean. Taking the ferry gives you both in a single day if you want them.

Sailings run throughout the year, though the frequency shifts considerably with the season. In winter you will find around three departures a day, which is enough to make the crossing but not much room for spontaneity. From late spring onwards the schedule expands quickly, and at the height of summer you can count on more than twelve daily sailings. Across all months, the average works out at roughly ten ferries a day — which puts this comfortably among the better-connected routes in the islands.

Hiring a car

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. Compare rental 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Tinos to Mykonos (Tourlos) 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.
• Do not leave valuables unattended in luggage – ferry saloons are busy places and opportunistic theft, while rare, does occur.
• Pack a light layer (cardigan, fleece, or windbreaker) even in summer; the wind and spray on open deck can feel cold on a long crossing.
