Tinos sits just 15 nautical miles from Mykonos, making it one of the most rewarding and effortless island hops in the Cyclades. The crossing takes well under an hour, the views across the blue Aegean are excellent, and the contrast between the two islands could hardly be starker -- Mykonos glamorous and relentless, Tinos quiet, deeply spiritual, and genuinely off the tourist trail by comparison.
The Mykonos to Tinos ferry route runs daily throughout the season. In the height of summer you can choose from around 13 departures a day, so there is no need to plan too rigidly -- turn up at the port, pick a convenient sailing, and you are away. Shoulder months bring slightly fewer options, with around 10 daily crossings in October and as few as 3 in March, so a little forward planning pays off at either end of the season.
