Getting from Tinos to Porto Heli

If you are heading to Porto Heli from Tinos you are making your way from the most venerated pilgrimage island in the Cyclades to a sheltered harbour on the Argolic Gulf in the northeastern Peloponnese. It has a marina, good beaches and Spetses visible across the water.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Tinos to Porto Heli. Getting there means taking the ferry from Tinos to Piraeus, which runs daily and takes around 2.5 to 4.5 hours, and then boarding the Saronic ferry from Piraeus to Porto Heli, which runs 4 to 5 times daily and takes around 2 hours. Note that the Piraeus to Porto Heli ferry is passenger only and does not carry vehicles.

Getting there by air

Porto Heli has no airport. The nearest airport is Athens. Tinos has no airport. The nearest airport is Mykonos. Taking the short ferry from Tinos to Mykonos, flying from Mykonos to Athens and then taking the Saronic ferry from Piraeus to Porto Heli gives a total journey time of around 6 to 7 hours. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.

Your best option

Take the ferry from Tinos to Piraeus and board the Saronic ferry to Porto Heli. It is the most practical approach. If you are traveling with a car, take the ferry from Tinos to Piraeus and drive south through the Peloponnese to Porto Heli via Corinth and the eastern Peloponnese coast, as the Piraeus ferry does not carry vehicles.
