Choose hotel carefully

When we visited Tinos last year, we stayed in a lovely hotel in Kionia. It seems that we were lucky to find a nice place to stay, as we were very worried with this issue. Most of our friends who have also been to Tinos were unhappy with their accommodation. They said that the hotel's pictures on... More >
Sacred and beautiful

Most Greeks know Tinos from the Church of Virgin Mary. Every 15 of August, Tinos becomes the center of Greece, with thousands of people visiting this church. To visit and see the sacred icon you have to wait a long queue, even when it's not August, 15. This was the reason we first visited Tinos. My... More >
Try to visit Tinos island on a daytrip from Athens or for a few days (but not during 15th of August, you will not find even a chair to seat!!- it's the celebration of the Church of the Panagia Evangelistria there) since if you are keen on nightlife and cosmopolitan way of life, it will disappoint...

We spent 10 days in Tinos last August, beautiful holiday, beautiful island.
But not for all.
Tinos is different from other cyclades.
Have wonderful little villages, so white, rocky landscapes, much wind and Chora is a town full of restauants, cafes, shops and pilgrims.
Don't go to Tinos if you... More >
We stayed only three days in Tinos so we didn't see much except from Chora and a couple of beaches. It was a lovely island but very quiet for young people. We were mostly attracted to Tinos because it looked to have nice beaches, but when we got there we saw that it had no nightlife. So, after... More >
Still very Greek

Tinos is still a very Greek island. Even in high tourism, it remains untouched by mass tourism. We were there in July, which is peak season for Greece, and though found many places to relax and enjoy some quiet. As the locals told us, most people go to Tinos on middle August, because on August... More >
In Tinos, I loved the small restaurants by the beach. You could always find a delicious dish and a welcoming onwer there. Local wine was excellent. Most waiters were friendly (except a sad exception in a restaurant in Chora) but they would speak only Greek. If you were lucky, you could find a... More >

We went to Tinos because we wanted to visit the church of Evangelistria. The rest of the island though was very beautiful, with good beaches (Kolimbithra, Panormos, Kionia, Agios Fokas the best) and picturseque villages, mostly Volax and Pyrgos. In Pyrgos, we wanted to visit the Museum of Chalepas,... More >

Tinos is a fantastic island if you want peace and quiet and love exploring areas of natural beauty. If you like shopping or clubbing, you will get bored to tears! It's good to know that there's still a Greek Island that hasn't been overrun by tourism. Beaches are great and very clean. The menus at... More >
