Travel Tips
Here are some useful tips to keep in mind when planning your journey from Tinos to Kythnos: - 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. - Although the journey is relatively short, the sea can get a bit choppy, so if you are prone to seasickness, consider taking motion sickness medication before boarding. As always, you discuss your options with your pharmacist or doctor. - Not only is Kythnos one of the closest islands to Athens, it is also one of the true hidden gems. - Kythnos is directly connected with many Cycladic islands, such as Kea, Milos and Syros.
