Ferry from Tinos to Syros (Ermoupoli)

The Tinos to Syros ferry connects two of the most characterful islands in the Cyclades. Tinos is known for its pilgrimage church and its quiet, traditional villages; Syros, by contrast, is a busy, cosmopolitan island with an impressive neoclassical capital. The crossing runs year-round, making it a practical link at any time of year.

Throughout the year you can expect around 2 ferries per day on average. Summer brings the schedule up to 3 daily sailings, while in winter a single daily departure keeps the route open. It is a well-maintained connection with daily service guaranteed.

Hiring a car

Can you rent a car in Syros?

Yes, and rental desks cluster right in Ermoupoli, a short walk from where the ferry docks. Syros Town itself is easily walkable, but a car earns its keep for reaching Kini, Galissas and Poseidonia beaches, each 8-10km away on the other side of the island.

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 Syros 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.
• Snacks in your bag reduce dependency on the onboard cafeteria and save money – nuts, crackers, fruit, and chocolate travel well.
• Once you arrive in Syros, the elegant capital Ermoupoli – with its grand neoclassical town hall, marble-paved Miaouli Square, and the Apollo Theatre – reflects the island's prosperous 19th-century history as the commercial centre of the Aegean. The hilltop medieval settlement of Ano Syros, built by the Venetians around 1200 CE, offers a contrasting older layer of island history.
