About Renting a Car at Tinos Port

Tinos port is the island's pulse and entry point, with 1 car rental company that meets you directly when the ferry docks. The location is perfect for getting started quickly - pick up your car and drive directly up to Panagia Evangelistria church (5 minutes' walk) or out to the island's beautiful villages. The port is served by frequent ferries from Piraeus, Rafina, and Mykonos.

Tinos port is surrounded by cafes and tavernas along the waterfront and is directly connected to the sacred pilgrimage path up to Panagia Evangelistria. From the port, it's 28 km to the marble village of Pyrgos to the north and 25 km to Kolymbithra beach on the north coast. With only 1 rental company at the port, advance booking is absolutely essential, especially during the high season of May - September.

Contact the company with your ferry information so they can adjust pickup time for any delays. Have cash ready as an alternative - local rental companies on smaller islands don't always accept cards. How do I book a car at Tinos port and what happens if the ferry is delayed?
