We are here to handle anything that might come up regarding your ferry trip.
Standard/economy seats are the most popular and affordable option. In conventional ferries, these seats are situated on deck or in internal lounges and they are not numbered, so your ticket does not correspond to a specific seat. Therefore, in order to get a comfortable one, you need to board the ferry as soon as possible. Bear in mind that, in this case, you will have to keep an eye on your seat for the entire duration of the journey.
Another option is the airplane seats, which are located in separate lounges. They are more comfortable than economy seats and they are the most affordable option among the numbered types of seats. For luxury travel, there are also Business/VIP seats, which are situated in a separate lounge and are more expensive.
There are only numbered seats in high-speed ferries, so a standard ticket corresponds to an airplane seat.
How to find your ferry in the port of Mykonos (Tourlos Port)
A large ferry moored at Mykonos Port, Tourlos
All passenger ferries depart from Tourlos Port, the new port of Mykonos, which is located just 3 km from Mykonos Town and 5 km from the airport.
Ferries bound for Tinos arrive at Tinos Port, right in the island’s main town.
Mykonos is highly popular with Greeks and foreigners alike, which may cause traffic around the port. For this reason, being there at least 1 hour before the official departure time is strongly recommended.

Luggage
Luggage policies in Greek ferries are quite flexible.
Most companies allow 40 kg or 0.5 cubic meters of luggage per passenger and provide a luggage storage area on each ferry.
If you wish, you can take your luggage with you to the lounges or the deck (if available), but it is recommended that you leave bulky suitcases in the designated area and take only your personal belongings (wallet, keys, mobile phone, etc.) with you upstairs.
Traveling with a car
You need to purchase a vehicle ticket to take your car or motorbike with you to Tinos.
Drivers should be at the port 1 hour to 1.5 hours before the official departure time.
For safety reasons, entering the garage while the ferry is sailing is not possible. Note: Many car rental companies do not allow customers to ferry their vehicles. We recommend avoiding purchasing a vehicle ticket before contacting your car rental company.
Alternative ways to reach Tinos
As there is no airport in Tinos, the only way to get there is by taking the ferry from Athens or other islands of the Cyclades.
Instead of flying to Mykonos, you can fly to Santorini, which also boasts an international airport receiving flights from several European countries, and proceed to Tinos by ferry from there.
About Tinos
A person in the traditional village of Kardiani, Tinos
Tinos is a quiet island boasting one of the most significant religious monuments in Greece: the Church of Evangelistria, which is the center of a huge traditional feast on the 15th of August when locals and visitors celebrate the Dormition of the Virgin Mary. It also boasts a number of quaint whitewashed villages and pristine beaches, where you can enjoy the sun and the sea away from large crowds.
Tinos is a great starting point for island-hopping to the rest of the Cyclades! Some of the top destinations you can reach from there are Santorini, with its world-renowned volcano and its romantic sunsets, the lively Ios with its vibrant party scene, as well as the enchanting Paros.
If you’re looking for more low-profile yet equally worth exploring destinations, you can also head for the cosmopolitan Syros, the variegated Naxos or the unspoiled Andros.
