EXPERIENCES
- Visit Panagia Evangelestria – one of the most important Christian pilgrimage sites in Greece. See the icon of Panagia (the Virgin Mary) which is believed to hold miraculous powers.
- Take a trip to Pyrgos – The word Pyrgos means ‘tower’ in Greek and this scenic village is named so after a Venetian fortress built there in the 16th century as a means of defence. Pyrgos showcases a rich history of marble-making which has been a key cultural attribute of the island since antiquity.
- Try the climbing routes – Over 100 climbing trails can be found at Mount Exomvogou alone (also the site of prehistoric and medieval ruins) all equipped with steel plug-rings drilled into the granite rocks. Other excellent bouldering locations on Tinos include Volax, Petriados and Kakia Sakla.
