Ferry Map & Routes to Tinos

Fast Ferries and Seajets stand out as the largest operators navigating the windy northern Cyclades, delivering roughly 500,000 religious pilgrims and travelers to the main harbor each year. Situated just a 30-minute sprint from its highly commercialized neighbors, this rugged destination relies heavily on the massive car ferries departing from the mainland port of Rafina. Look at the ferry map above to coordinate your island-hopping route northwest to Andros or south to Syros. Roll your car off the ferry deck, as you need a sturdy vehicle to explore the dozens of marble-carved mountain villages scattered across the high-altitude interior.
