Secret Beach - Path walking needed. Untouched by the massive tourism, the neighbor of Aghios Romanos, is in good terms with the loners and those who do not hesitate to pass a mini-odyssey in order to reach this exotic place. If you wish to swim in its turquoise waters next to greenish and white natural sculptures, you have to drive 11km in dirt road, walk in downhill and descent from rocks! Otherwise, you may choose to get there by boat.

Beach - Surf spot. Must! It is located on the northern side of the island facing directly the north Aegean Sea. The strong northern wind meltemi that blows in summer months, particularly July and August, create great waves for surfing. Blowing at a speed of more than 5 on the Beaufort scale, this wind creates a great left wave and sometimes a smaller right. Kolymbithra is also a safe beach with sandy bottom. Tinos Surf Lessons was founded by local surfer John Vidalis. It offers surf tuition, surfboard rentals, and also other water sports equipment, like bodyboard, canoe, kayak and skimboard rentals. Kolymbithra beach is fantastic place for all levels of surfers, even for beginners.

The nearest beach. 2km long, it worth being considered as the largest -in acreage- beach of the island. Thanks to its short distance from Chora (2km), it seems ideal for those who do not have any conveyance because you can arrive there on foot. As for its features, it is characterized by the pebble-sand duet as well as the green artistic intervention of the shady trees. On the advantages, you may add the view towards the mystic Delos and the amenities of umbrellas, deck-chairs and beach bars. All along, you may find cafeterias, restaurants and taverns. If you want a piece of advice, prefer the part that is near the helipad of Tinos - Marathia Restaurant.

Pyrgos, the village of the marble artists. Lying away from the seashore and where a Venetian castle used to stand (the word “pyrgos” in Greek means “castle”) Pýrgos is one of the largest villages of the island and, definitely, the centre of the marble art of Tinos. The fountain dedicated to the Greek Revolution of 1821, the marble work on the churches, the houses and the two museums make obvious that sculpture enjoys a long tradition in Pyrgos. Since 1955 the Art School for Marble Sculpture has supported this long tradition.

Traditional village, Built in the shade of luxuriant verdure of plane and olive trees, this lovely village has picturesque stone paved narrow alleys, whitewashed steps, wonderful arches and magnificent traditional whitewashed old houses with flat roofs, colourful windows and doors and courtyards and balconies full of bright flowers. Most of those superb houses are made of marble and never fail to charm every visitor with their beautiful, spare lines. A stream runs through the village and cool water gushes out of the glimmering springs that adorn the village. Kardiani is a real marvel, among the prettiest villages of Tinos.

Traditional village. Volax village is located in a strange and unique site full of huge granite boulder formations, reminders of a volcanic eruption that took place some thousands of years ago. Those natural monoliths have different shapes and give to the landscape a unique natural charm; the white houses of the village contrast with the profound red of the rocks. The few inhabitants of Volax are basket-weavers and their workshops can be visited. Their works are of course for sale and might make a great and useful souvenir.
