The Rafina to Tinos ferry is one of the more rewarding crossings in the Cyclades, taking you from the bustling port town east of Athens directly to one of the most spiritually significant islands in Greece. With a sailing time of under four hours, it’s a manageable and enjoyable way to make the crossing. Our Rafina port guide covers getting there from central Athens and the airport before you set off.
Service runs throughout the year, though the timetable shifts considerably with the seasons. On average you’ll find around 8 departures per day, but in the height of summer — June through August — that figure climbs to 11 daily sailings. In winter, expect around 2 per day.
