Tinos, this beautiful island of Cyclades is the biggest religious center in Greece. Thousands of believers from Greece and abroad visit every year the island of Megalohari and fulfill their oblation to Panagia.
The island, famous for Panagias’ miracles, has unique natural beauties and important sites. Its characteristic is the long beaches, the authentic scenes of Cyclades and the small traditional villages with many churches and cotes.
The remains of the ancient temple of Poseidon and Amfitriti reveal sides of the past and the island’s role as a religious center in every historic period.
Tinos is the island that everybody used to link to the Church of Virgin Mary (Panagia) but things have changed in the meantime. It has become an earthly paradise for surfers and for those who love traditional holidays in the Cyclades.
Its beaches are no less than 41 and there are also countless villages (Pyrgos, Volax, Agapi, Kambos, Kardiani, Triandaros, Steni, Dio Choria, Triandaros, etc.).
