Getting from Agistri to Tinos

If you are heading to Tinos from Agistri you are making your way from a small pine-covered island in the Saronic Gulf to an island in the Cyclades, on the opposite side of the Aegean. It has the most venerated pilgrimage church in Greece and a tradition of extraordinary marble craftsmanship in its interior villages.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Agistri to Tinos. The most practical approach is to take the Saronic ferry from Agistri to Piraeus, which takes around 55 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes, and then board the ferry from Rafina to Tinos, which runs up to 12 times daily in summer and takes around 2 hours. Rafina is around 25 kilometres from Athens Airport and is the more convenient port for Tinos than Piraeus. Alternatively, the Piraeus to Tinos ferry runs several times daily and takes around 3 to 5 hours.

Getting there by air

Tinos has no airport. The nearest airport is Mykonos. Taking the Saronic ferry from Agistri to Piraeus, the metro to Athens Airport and flying to Mykonos, followed by the short ferry from Mykonos to Tinos taking around 30 minutes, gives a total journey time of around 4 to 5 hours.

Your best option

Take the Saronic ferry from Agistri to Piraeus and board the Rafina to Tinos ferry. Rafina is a short taxi ride from Athens Airport and avoids crossing the city entirely. If you are traveling with a car, the conventional ferry from Rafina takes your vehicle directly to Tinos port.
