To get to Tinos from Athens airport, you need to take a ferry from the port of Rafina. Ferries are regular, and the journey takes around 2-4 hours, depending on the boat.

In Tinos, we recommend the sanctuary of Panagia Evangelistria, the village of Pyrgos for its architecture and museums, and beaches such as Agios Ioannis Porto. Other highlights include the archaeological museum, hiking trails, the village of Volax with its unique rock formations, and the monastery of Kechrovouni for its panoramic views.

Tips include: book ferry tickets in advance, explore the small villages, taste the local cuisine, take water and walking shoes to explore the hiking trails.

In Tinos, discover the local gastronomy, including Louza, a spicy ham, Tarta with cheese, Kopanisti with a bold taste, Fava with chickpea purée, and delicious Tinian Artichokes. We also recommend Gardoumia, a fragrant meat stew, or Pasteli, a sesame and honey delicacy.
