Tinos and Mykonos sit barely apart in the Cyclades, and the ferry between them is one of the easiest inter-island hops you can make in Greece. The two islands contrast sharply in character: Tinos is quietly spiritual, its hilltop basilica drawing Greek Orthodox pilgrims year-round, while Mykonos trades in glamour, golden beaches and a nightlife scene that runs later than almost anywhere on the Aegean. Taking the ferry gives you both in a single day if you want them.
Sailings run throughout the year, though the frequency shifts considerably with the season. In winter you will find around three departures a day, which is enough to make the crossing but not much room for spontaneity. From late spring onwards the schedule expands quickly, and at the height of summer you can count on more than twelve daily sailings. Across all months, the average works out at roughly ten ferries a day — which puts this comfortably among the better-connected routes in the islands.
