The trip: We want to Tinos by boat from Piraeus with Blue Star ferries. The boat?s name is Ithaki. The trip was good without any delay.
Idea before arriving: Didn?t know much about the island. Just knew that beaches was not a reason for going there and that the villages were extraordinary.
Expectations and opinions: Yes, it met my expectations. It is a great island.

Favorite thing about Tinos: Really great island for those you like to take pictures of authentic places, villages and people.
Negative opinion: Water sports are missing and activities for younger people.
Recommendations: Be aware! This is not a party island or an island with great beaches and tourism. It is a quiet but extremely beautiful island. The first sight of the island (the port) is really disappointing but once you get out of the main town and go in the village then you will not regret the trip.
Yes, I would like to go back to Tinos. Because I loved it and because I would like to show to my friends the authenticity of the Greek Islands..
Rate of the overall quality/organization/services of this island/area in comparison with other countries: 7/10
