We present them to you…
For the beaches of the island
The beaches of Tinos are beautiful, large, and very clean. There are so many of them that it is certainly not enough for just one visit to enjoy all of them. We have distinguished two beaches that are for different tastes. One is Apigania. A truly exotic beach that has stayed relatively away from tourist development. This beautiful bay of turquoise waters will fascinate you at first sight. Our second favorite is Pachia Ammos, which is also calm and away from the many people and tourists. An impressive background of crystal clear waters and golden sand.
It’s gastronomy.
