Tinos /Cycladic Islands
Enchanting yet still unknown to the majority of travellers, Tinos is one of the most interesting Cycladic islands to visit. One can enjoy its unspoiled architecture, its picturesque 40 villages, its exquisite beaches, and its traditional culture and mouthwatering gastronomy as well as the way of living that has been going on through the years.
According to the philosopher Kastoriadis, the “hand-made Tínos” is the homeland of renowned great artists of marble carving such as Gyzis, Lytras, Chalepas, Filippotis, and Sochos, who have been the last famous names to have held the baton of the island’s marble-carving tradition.
The pan-Hellenic festivities in honor of Virgin Mary on August 15 are accompanied by other festivals like those in Tsikniás and Exómbourgo and the gastronomic feasts involving artichoke and raki in Falatádos as well as the festival of honey in Kámpos. Tinos is the ideal place for nature lovers, architecture, art, and tradition, and the perfect answer to the relative expectations!
