Discover the Authentic Charm of Tinos Island: Your Guide to a Memorable Getaway

Tinos Island, a captivating blend of spiritual significance and natural beauty, offers a unique Greek island experience. Renowned as a major Orthodox pilgrimage site, home to the miraculous icon of the Annunciation of Virgin Mary at the Panagia Evangelistria Monastery in Tinos Town (built in 1880), which is located at the Town of Tinos, the capital and the main port of the island, it's also a place where Catholic traditions thrive.

Beyond the capital, Tinos reveals its enchanting heartland. At times imposing, at others calm, and sometimes even mystifying, the great variety of the landscape of Tinos Island is unique in the Aegean Sea!

Touring the island turns out to be a rather seductive discovery of natural beauty: Explore picturesque villages, hike scenic trails, relax on pristine beaches with crystal clear waters, and discover hidden gems like traditional dovecotes, windmills, ancient chapels, threshing floors, dry-stone handmade walls, caves and granite boulders, carved by strong North winds…
