Ferry Athens (Piraeus) → Tinos 🇬🇷🇬🇷
Sail from the port of Piraeus, Athens' gateway to the islands, straight to Tinos in the heart of the Cyclades. SEAJETS runs a high-speed catamaran covering the crossing in about 2 h 25, while Blue Star Ferries operates a comfortable conventional vessel, the Blue Star Paros, in roughly 5 hours with space for cars. Tinos is famous for the pilgrimage church of Panagia Evangelistria, its sculpted marble villages, dovecotes and dramatic granite peaks, and a growing reputation as a quiet foodie escape away from the party crowds. Both companies sail daily through summer, so you can pick speed or savings to reach this devout, windswept island.
