Saint Pelagia of Tinos, a Greek Nun saint, the one that has helped- through her visions- the discovery of the sacred icon of Panagia of Tinos.

Panormos is to the left of the beautiful beach of Agia Thalassa ( the 'Holy Sea'). With its wonderful sandy beach, an ideal destination when North Wind blows from which it is protected.
The phrase “wild beauty” suits perfectly to this isolated bay in Pano Meria, with the black sand, fine cobblestone and transparent sea that gets suddenly deep. Those who will choose to traverse the 6km from Steni and drive in dirt road, they will be compensated by the time they have a look at the sculptural, peculiar rocks on the left and the “angry” waves during the etesian winds.
The beloved of the winds which blow permanently towards this beach. It is the right one if you look for umbrellas, deck-chairs and also to get some peace of mind.
Also known as Mikri Ammos & Megali Ammos, you can detect it at the most northern part of Tinos, around 25min away from Chora. Basically it is separated in two; on the one hand there is the largest part which is hit by the northern wind and is quite peaceful and on the other hand, there is the smaller but protected from the winds bay with the semolina sand and jade green waters which is first in preference.
With amenities, a cosmopolitan beach near Panormos at the small port of the settlement Platia. Sparse tamarisks in the sands and view towards the Northern Aegean Sea.

Next to the beach lies the Agios Markos church. The chapel stands on the rock above the small beach.
Immediately after Agios Markos and Kionia encounter. Great beach with pine trees stretching in front of the archaeological site of columns with the Temple of Neptune looking at Syros.
Remote and peaceful beach. It is recommended if you despise of the crowds but it would not be a great idea if you cannot tolerate the etesian winds.
The road that begins from Triantaros, leads to a tranquil beach at the SE part of the island; this beach consists of white and black pebbles, crystal clear seabed and the obligatory for the shadow tamarisks. 5km separate the beach from the civilization of Chora.
A secret for the few and very best; it is near Steni at the eastern part of Tinos. As for umbrellas or deck-chairs, these are out of discussion! You can get to the remote, sandy coast with the jade green seabed either via Potamia either by boat.
Unknown to the most people, an isolated beach covered with pebble, in the east side of the island. The picturesque chapel of Agios Dimitrios seems to decorate the beach.
A romantic picture of two sugary sands…. And a rock in the middle which has the homonymous chapel on the top, seems like the natural boundary of the two quiet coves.
The cherished seaport of Kardiani (13km from Chora), next to Agios Petros beach. Exotic moments with crystal, shallow waters, shady tamarisks all along, relaxation in chaise lounges under the rattan umbrellas and cocktails or raki from the Kardiani Kalyvia beach bar; always in speed and at your disposal, the beach bar supplies you with snacks, juices, coffees, cocktails and raki directly at your chaise lounge.
Right under Kardiani village, the quiet little port of Exo Meria with the deep blue embrace of the Aegean Sea as well as the pebbles, gathers mostly families. On the advantages of the beach, you may include the taverns where you can have a meal or dinner of maritime influences.
“Godfather” of the rather leeward large sandy shore at the southern part of Tinos (11km away from Chora) was the chapel of the left side of the bay. Nature has endowed the beloved of the Tinians with shady trees, crystal clear, emerald waters and unobstructed sight of Syros.
Close to Agios Markos, is a small sandy desert. There is some organization and you must have your own things.
