How to get from Syros to Tinos

The Greek island of Tinos is quite literally a short hop away from Syros, as the journey takes barely half an hour on the ferry. In fact, you will probably spend more time waiting for the ferry at the port than on the boat itself!

During the busy summer months, there is a baseline of one Syros Tinos ferry per day. This is supplemented by an additional 3 ferries per week which leave on different days from Syros to Tinos.

These ferries to Tinos from Syros are operated by Blue Star Ferries and SeaJets. I've seen ticket prices as low as 4.00 Euro per foot passenger during the off-season travel period. You could probably expect to pay a little more than that during the summer.

The simplest place to look at schedules for Greek ferries and prices is at the Ferryhopper website.
