Tinos is where you enter into the wild beauty of the island, a less-frequented island in the Cyclades, rich in history and religious significance.

Arrival & Visit to Panagia Evangelistria

Upon arrival, we visit the Church of Panagia Evangelistria, Greece’s most important pilgrimage site. This majestic 19th-century church was built to house the revered icon of the “Megalochari” (Great Grace), believed to be miraculous. The grandeur of the white marble façade and the spiritual atmosphere make this a truly unforgettable stop.

Exploring Tinos’ Unique Architecture & Venetian Influence

Tinos was under Venetian rule for nearly 500 years, leaving behind an impressive legacy of elegant pigeon houses and Catholic villages. These beautifully designed dovecotes, once used for breeding pigeons, are scattered across the valleys, adding a touch of history to the island’s already stunning scenery.
