Travel Tips
Here are some useful tips to keep in mind when planing your trip from Tinos to Kea: - The port of Tinos can be very busy in the summer months, and many ferries may arrive or depart at the same time. For this reason, we recommend arriving at the port at least 1 hour early. - While the Aegean Sea is generally calm, it can occasionally get choppy, so if you are prone to seasickness, consider taking motion sickness medication before the trip. Your pharmacist or doctor can help you pick the best solution. - As one of the closest islands to Athens, Kea can get quite busy on weekends and during the summer, so make sure to book your ferry tickets well in advance. - Kea is directly connected with most of the Cycladic islands.
