The name of Tinos island has been identified with the majestic church of Panagia and its glorious celebration every mid-August. In addition to its religious identity, Tinos hides priceless "treasures", waiting to be discovered!

Both capital and main port of Tinos is Chóra. Do not get disappointed by its first image; Tinos knows how to hide well its secrets and only reveals them as a surprise to the visitor! Chóra’s trademark is the impressive church of Panagia of Tinos, which prominently dominates. Among the major attractions of Chóra, the Archaeological Museum of Tinos, the Cultural Foundation of Tinos, the Monument of "Elli", the Weaving House and the Cathedral of the Archangels are included. You can walk across the “old road” with its countless shops and marble Kato Vrysi and "lose yourself" in the old neighborhoods of Pallada and Agios Eleftherios-Vary. Regarding its nightlife, except for the cafés on the beach side, you will find, scattered through the streets of Chóra, stylishly bars for all tastes. If you seek for an alternative place to have a drink, just outside the island’s capital, you will find an original bar, built around a mill.

During your stay in Tinos, you should not miss visiting the magnificent village of Pyrgos, which is lazily perched in the western part of the island. There, the house-museum of Giannoulis Halepas; a renowned Greek sculptor; the Museum of Panormos’ Artists and the Marble Sculpture School are found. Do not leave the village without enjoying a coffee on the coals or having delicious galaktomboureko sweet under the plane trees of the square.

Pyrgos seaport and also Tinos old port is Panormos; one of the most idyllic "corners" of the island. In this picturesque harbor, you can enjoy your food or coffee, watching the sea as well as the opposite Planitis islet.

Continue your journey with a visit to the enigmatic Volakas or Volax village. There, a surprise awaits you; massive, round rocks, spring up from nowhere, creating a bizarre image, the like of which does not exist! In the village, you will find a stone theater, which, during summer months, hosts cultural events. Volax is famous for its taverns with excellent food, as well as for its basketry workshops.

In the southeast, wooded slope of Kechrovouni, Dyo Chorià, one of the prettiest villages of the island, is perched. This village together with Triantaros village, are classified as "the balconies of Tinos”, due to their disarming views to the endless blue sea and the neighboring Cycladic islands. The beautiful square with trees and bougainvilleas, the cobbled streets, the picturesque arches and xinaria (springs) will take you to a magical world!

You will come across similar sceneries in Triantaros. In this charming small village you will have the opportunity to taste exquisite dishes which combine traditional products with gourmet tastes!

Tinos is ideal for hiking, as it has marked trails, which cross villages, passing by lush natural environments with streams and ending in beautiful beaches.
