More about: Tinos island
Tinos Island is a barren rock. The two days I spent there the islands was subject to terrible winds that drove stinging sand into my skin. The water was beautiful, the beach is rocky and if you want to use the beach chairs you'll have to pay a fee. The Tinos Beach Hotel was nice enough, but it's a mile and a half from the main town and when the bus stops running it's either a taxi or walk back. Tinos is known as the religious island, and if you tell Greek people you're vacationing on Tinos they'll look at you strangely. Pilgrims crawl on their knees up a long, carpeted street to the main church. There are no major ruins or museums, and if you want to visit Delos Island you need to take a ferry to Mykonos first. Delos is NOT open Mondays and the last excursion boat leaves at 11:00 AM.
