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. This icon is one of the most sacred, venerated icons of the Holy Mother, all over Greece and, maybe the most famous pilgrimage that is dedicated to Her Grace, each year on the feast of Her Dormition on August, 15th.
Tinos is an island famous for its traditional ouzo. Visitors can enjoy ouzo of Tinos that it produced in small quantities.

Xemparko is one of the most traditional cafés of the island. Except coffee and drinks it also offers homemade food.
A short distance west of the country lies the old port of Stavros. The picturesque little beach ideal for romantic after sunset from here is amazing.
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.
Close to Agios Markos, is a small sandy desert. There is some organization and you must have your own things.
“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.
The Beach of Agali is located at the most idyllic spot of Chora in Tinos, only a 10 minute walk from the port. The largest and the best organized sandy beach.
