This beautiful island will embrace you with its majestic landscapes and will dazzle you with the numerous sandy beaches, the wonderfully built villages of the inland areas and the warmth of the locals. Thousands of believers visit the island each summer to honor the mother of Christ, in one of the most beautiful and imposing Christian temples, but also to admire the marvelous architecture, exhibited everywhere, from the marble temples to the locals' houses and the famous white dovecotes. Come to Tinos to enjoy the climate, the clean beaches and the beautiful villages and to experience a genuine Greece, carrying traditions underneath the generous sun of the Cyclades.
