Tinos is one of the few Greek islands that have a vibrant community even during the winter. Hotels and restaurants run all year long and locals will welcome you with their warm hospitality!
Highlight of Tinos are its super picturesque villages, traditional dovecotes and windmills. The island is nowadays what the island of Delos was to pilgrims in antiquity. Twice a year, on March 25th and August 15th, religious travellers inundate the island to visit the magnificent church of Virgin Mary (in Greek: Panagia). Many pilgrims reach the church, 800 meters from the ferry wharf on their hands and knees as a sign of devotion. Apart from the main town, Chora, we visit many villages located in the islands interior. The most famous of which is Pyrgos, the marble art village. The village of Volakas on the other hand surprises travellers with its extraordinary lunar appearance! And Tripotamos, is the village of local customs. Tinos also boasts numerous magnificent sandy beaches and an absolutely delicious local cuisine!
This self-guided hiking tour is ideal for travellers who value authenticity, traditional villages and a hiking experience shaped by the island’s true character.
