Elegant Sunset Villa Near a Sandy Beach, Tinos

Located on the northern side of the Cyclades, Tinos is one of the most enchanting Greek Islands. Most villages were created in the medieval or Byzantine times. They have been kept unchanged offering a short journey in history. Built in leeward slopes to protect residents from the wind, hidden or built high on the mountains to keep away pirates, they often resemble fortresses. Whitewashed and simple, they follow the minimal Cycladic style. The square, the fountain, the arcades, arches, alleys, the cobbled paths, marble stairs, all common elements of the villages, are craft works and a case study for modern architects. The culinary wealth of Tinos and the systematic efforts for its dissemination have made it a top domestic gastronomic destination. Tinian wine, is an integral part of the island’s gastronomic identity. Wine lovers may visit wineries and vineyards, enjoy wine tastings and pairings with local products and taste the wine labels in plenty of restaurants and wine bars or purchase them directly from plenty of retail stores. Above all sites stands The Holy Church of Panagia Evaggelistria of Tinos (Our Lady of Tinos) which is the most important Orthodox pilgrimage in Greece and one of the most famous throughout the world.
