Ferries from Tinos

At weekends a third ship appears at Tinos and a fourth destination opens with it. The Ekaterini P. only works Saturdays and Sundays, and the single Naxos departure — 11:20, 135 minutes — exists only on those two days. Through the week Naxos is not served from here at all.

The rest of the sheet is steady: Mykonos 30 to 35 minutes with 14 sailings a week each way, Andros 85 to 100 minutes, Rafina 210 to 240. Three vessels share it, the Fast Ferries Andros and Theologos P. daily and the Ekaterini P. at the weekend.

Tinos is a pilgrimage island. The church of Panagia Evangelistria stands directly above the harbour, and on 15 August the icon procession draws crowds large enough to reshape the summer timetable; some pilgrims cover the road up from the quay on their knees. A half-hour hop from Mykonos and a religious calendar this heavy make for an unusual mix of passengers on the same boat.
