Tinos
Tinos is an ideal destination for every traveler, because it combines various contrasting natural elements such as: hills and plains, mountain and sea, fertile and infertile soil. The mild climate of the island favors any kind of activity, while the strong summer winds justify the naming of Tinos as “The island of Aeolus”.
The villages of Tinos are like ornaments decorating the island’s slopes and valleys. Walk among them, one by one: there is marble everywhere, in the squares, the skylights, in the fountains where you’ll cool off with a drink of water. Take a break at a traditional cafe under the shade of the sycamore trees and have a coffee or a bite to eat: Tinian cheese, louza (smoked meat), and sweet raki. Now that’s real hospitality!
As far as tourism is concerned, there is nothing in its neighbor islands that should make Tinos envy of. Tinos ranks high in the preferences of the travelers who would like to visit the Cyclades island complex, in order to experience the idyllic environment with its famous coasts and to get a friendly hosted accommodation in one of the finest places. The capital of the island, “Chora”, as well as the rest of the villages will offer you abundant choices of all-star categories hotels as well as ideal rooms for whoever wants to escape from the reality of the everyday life.
