Two main roads lead to the Church of the Panagia or the Church of Evangelismos Theotokou which overlooks the town and where the miracle-working icon of the Virgin Mary is.
The newest of those roads is called Megaloharis Avenue and is where the City Hall, the Telecommunication building (OTE) and the Archaeological Museum of Tinos are.
Evangelistrias Street, the oldest main street, is stone paved and has a beautiful 18th century marble fountain with impressive carvings as well as many art galleries exposing the works of local painters.
This street has many shops, one next to another, that form a market lane of colourful products, souvenirs and everything one can imagine.
Hora is not particularly picturesque for it is a big settlement but the new white apartment buildings and three or four-storey houses are well combined with the traditional old houses and the narrow alleys and flowered courtyards keep a Cycladic touch that makes the town attractive.
Being in the capital, Hora has many
restaurants, taverns, pastry shops,
tourist stores, cafes, bars, camping
sites and hotels: Here the visitor
can find everything that might help
him enjoy his stay on the island even
more.
