Route guide

Rafina to Tinos ferry

Rafina–Tinos is part of the current Cyclades ferry network. Golden Star Ferries advertises the high-speed Rafina–Tinos crossing from about 1 hour 55 minutes, while Fast Ferries includes Tinos on its core 2026 Rafina route. Current route information supports daily service with additional summer frequency across the Rafina–Tinos corridor. Treat the published time as a planning benchmark because vessel type and intermediate calls can change the duration.

Golden Star Ferries, Fast Ferries provide the principal operator coverage used for this guide. Depending on the sailing, travellers can encounter a conventional vehicle ferry or a high-speed vessel. Foot passengers are accepted widely, while cars must be booked only on a departure that explicitly offers garage space.

At Tinos, the ferry arrives at Tinos Ferry Port. The ferry port is beside Tinos Town on the south-west coast. The waterfront, main town, bus station, taxis and visitor services are close to the quay, making onward travel around the island straightforward. For island-hopping trips, compare the complete itinerary rather than assuming a direct sailing, especially during shoulder-season timetable changes.

If you are connecting to accommodation, another ferry or ground transport, leave a sensible margin after the scheduled arrival. Weather, port traffic and boarding operations can occasionally affect the final timing.

Where more than one operator serves Rafina to Tinos, compare the current timetable and ticket conditions as well as price; a nearby departure can sometimes offer a better overall fit.
