The crossing from Tinos to Naxos is one of the great short hops of the Cyclades -- two islands with very different personalities separated by a straightforward ferry ride. Tinos carries a quieter, more devotional character, famous for the Church of Panagia Evangelistria and its unhurried harbour town. Naxos, the largest island in the Cyclades, is altogether bolder: bigger beaches, more villages, a rugged mountainous interior. Getting between them is easy, and in high summer you have real flexibility when it comes to timing your departure.
Service runs from April through to October. In the shoulder months -- April and October -- expect around one sailing per day, so it pays to check the timetable before you plan your onward travel. From June to August the frequency climbs to four departures daily, giving you plenty of options whether you want an early start or a leisurely late-morning crossing.
