Tinos Reviews -General

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 sister had made a promise to Lady Mary to go there some years ago, and so we did. On our second trip there, this summer, we focused to the other places that Tinos has to provide, apart from churches and we discovered a truly beautiful island.

What we loved in Tinos were the calm, no tourist places. The village Agapi, in Greek this mean Love. Beautiful village, with some running waters nearby and green strands. Also go to the villages Dio Choria and Pyrgos are called the balconies of Tinos, because of their view. The village Kalloni is also nice, traditional, clean, on a green hill and a smell of flowers follows you while walking in the small streets. The most quiet and honestly... amazing beach we found was Livada. Not that big beach, not known much, with light blue, clean water, a really stunning place. On your way there, you will see a nice lake with ducks and a small tavern nearby. Food was also good.
