RESTAURANTS WE LOVE
Take a wine tour in Tinos, blessed with fertile land and a generation of wine makers returning to their homes to foster centuries-old traditions of grape growing, Tinos now boasts seven producers with up to five labels each. The varieties local to the island range from a fresh Asyrtiko (a refreshingly dry white) and the dark and deeply spicy Marvotragano, which ages phenomenally.
Lunch as an experience in Tinos – for lunch with a view and an expertly composed seafood menu from perhaps the island’s most popular foodie spot, look to To Thalassaki. On the beach at Ormos Isternion on the south west of the island, this restaurant takes bookings in advance and will likely not have a table for those without a reservation.
Make your way to Aetofolia and dine at the family run taverna, Sta Fys’Aera. Where Km0 applies the best is here, all food grown locally, the taverna’s meze dishes is the dish not to miss, unique and special all the way. And the not to be missed Spiced Louza (smoked pork) accompanied with wild greens tea, served up in a tea pot as a side to your greens order and mouth watering courgette salad, finely chopped….to be washed down with the taverna’s privatea lable raki.
