Tinos Town Tour

Don’t judge a book by its cover

There’s no better example of this old saying other than Tinos Town.

Though, at first glance, it is not one of the most beautiful Cycladic settlements, you’ll be amazed by the captivating beauty and interesting history hidden behind the waterfront.

Aristocratic mansions, marble fountains, Venetian remnants, a textile school for girls and a church school for boys, all seen in just a short walk.

Visit the island’s most iconic hallmark, the imposing Church of Virgin Mary, and get to know how and why Tinos became a worldwide centre of Orthodoxy. Miraculous icons, precious offerings, religious relics, devout pilgrims and wondrous miracles portray the Greek religious tradition.

Tinos Town has a lot more to offer than a stroll through traditional Cycladic scenery and awaits to be discovered.
