Tinos Island

Home > Isole > Tinos

The beautiful Tinos island is located between Andros and the super noble Mykonos in the Cyclades Archipelago. An ideal destination for a true holiday based on absolute relaxation as it has not yet been taken over by mass tourism. Rich in nature, history and spirituality, Tinos is very popular with religious tourism, the famous Virgin Mary Sanctuary is a pilgrimage destination for the faithful from all over Greece and the world.

Tinos is not just mysticism, it offers its visitors a still uncontaminated landscape with sinuous hills, rugged coasts, small hidden bays and beaches lapped by transparent and clear waters.

The myth tells that Tinos is the home of Aeolus the God of the winds, the sons of the north wind found shelter right here after the adventures of the Argonauts. Another legend instead links it to the God Poseidon who freed it from the snakes that once populated it.

A perfect island for those who love history, here the times date back to the Phoenicians and the Ionians, for those who love art with its famous marble villages and the particular Venetian dovecotes. Also if you are people who love walking, do not miss a visit to its original villages such as Pyrgos famous for its long sculptural tradition or Panormos village for a breathtaking sunset.
