If you're looking for mass tourism and crowded beaches, then this destination is not for you. Tinos is an island for those who appreciate the old ways and lifestyle of the islanders, the authentic picturesque villages that one hopes to find on a Greek island, and the simple Greek cuisine that Greece itself is famous for. Here on Tinos, it's back to basics.

When you first arrive to Tinos town, you will certainly be thinking that the previous statement applies to a totally different island, and that we've made a huge mistake. Rest assured, however, that the hustle and bustle of the town does not apply to the rest of the island! During the summer months and on the weekends, the town is throbbing with activity, primarily due to Greek visitors here to pay homage to the Holy Virgin at the famous Church of the Panagia. The rest of the island with dozens of secluded beautiful beaches, a long history, diverse culture including marble carving and many culinary surprises, remains quaint and unexplored at large. Try it!
