A pebbly east-coast cove reached by a rural road, with clear water and an undeveloped setting. It suits independent visitors seeking a quieter swim and is best avoided in strong northerly winds.
A striking south-coast beach with golden sand, dunes and clear water, often considered one of Tinos’ finest. Its exposed setting can be windy, and there is little natural shade, so bring supplies.
A sheltered, shallow bay about 6 km from Tinos Town, with accommodation, tavernas and a family-friendly atmosphere. It is one of the island’s most convenient beaches for a relaxed day by the sea.
High above Tinos Town, this women’s monastery is associated with Saint Pelagia, whose vision led to the discovery of the icon at Panagia Evangelistria in 1823. Its whitewashed cells, chapels and mountain views make it a peaceful pilgrimage stop; modest dress is required.
A long, sandy beach east of Porto, with clear shallow water and a less built-up feel. Facilities are limited compared with Porto, so bring water and sun protection if choosing a quieter section.
A wild northeast-coast beach known for large granite boulders, powerful waves and a rugged landscape. Better for scenery, walking and experienced water-sports visitors than for calm swimming; currents and rocky seabed can be hazardous.
