Description

Tinos, the fourth largest island in the Cyclades, is a destination that combines history, art, and natural beauty. From its great artists, such as Gyzis, Chalepas, and Filipotis, to the unparalleled gastronomic delights that will excite your senses, the island is full of treasures waiting to be discovered. And of course, the Megalocharis, the miraculous Virgin Mary of Tinos, will welcome you with its grandeur in the town of Chora.

However, the true Tinos, the "handmade" one as philosopher Cornelius Castoriadis called it, lies in the island's interior. While its beaches and the town of Tinos are well-known and beloved, the heart of the island beats in its traditional villages. Whether you choose to explore it by foot, by car, or by bike, Tinos is an island that is worth discovering in depth, offering unforgettable experiences for all types of visitors.

Let's begin with Tinos' picturesque villages. Each village has its own unique identity and charm, making it difficult to choose the most beautiful. However, if your time is limited, these villages are certainly worth your attention.
