Getting there:

Best to take a flight to Athens

With the KTEL-Bus (ΚΤΕΛ) from the airport (Αεροδρόμιο Ελευθέριος Βενιζέλος) to the port in Rafina (Ραφήνα) in about 30 minutes, costs 3 EUR. The bus-stop is only a few steps from the airport-building between door 2 and 3 at the arrival level on the 3rd lane just before a hotel--> Time-table

With the ferry in about 4h to Tinos, prices start at 19 EUR/Person and 60 EUR/car --> Time-table

(Car rental rates on Tinos start from 30 EUR/day, the rates are different according to the season)

During the season there are also Fast Ferries, but these cost also a bit more.

During the season it is possible to take a flight to the neighbouring island Mykonos. From there the ferry-trip to Tinos is much faster.
