Why travel by ferry from Athens to Tinos?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Athens to Tinos ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Tinos. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Athens to Tinos is an ideal way to travel.

You get much more rest than in the car
Because of the heightened alertness required to drive a car on long journeys, driving is exhausting. Conversely, a Athens Tinos boat trip is ultra relaxing. Ferries operated by Minoan Lines, Blue Star Ferries, Aegean Speed Lines or Sea Jets are designed with areas dedicated to relaxation or entertainment: lounges or cabins, outdoor solarium, bars and restaurants... You arrive in Tinos stress-free and totally relaxed.
To enjoy the incredible sea view
When we are on the coast, we often look for places that offer the best sea view. During the Athens Tinos crossing, whether you are on deck, dining in the restaurant or relaxing in the comfortable lounges of the Minoan Lines, Blue Star Ferries, Aegean Speed Lines or Sea Jets ship, you will simply have a front row seat to the incredible spectacle that the sea offers. Everywhere, large windows give you an extraordinary view of the azure blue sea to make the most of its soothing power.
For the comfort of a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Athens to Tinos by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with berths, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are not unlike real hotel rooms. Even on a day crossing, enjoying the privacy of a cabin is still possible and much more comfortable than sitting in a lounge.
