The hidden gem of the Cyclades<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

The little sister of larger Andros to the north and the party island of Mykonos to the south, Tinos is one of the most authentic islands in the Cyclades<\/a>. A holy land, home to Aeolus (the keeper of the winds) and the miraculous Virgin, Tinos is also a wild beauty with a jagged coastline and mountainous hinterland, dotted with small, picturesque villages. It makes an amazing stopover for those who want to take their time and go wherever the wind blows them.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Holy Tinos!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What strikes you first about the Greek island of Tinos<\/strong> is the religious fervour that takes over as soon as you arrive in Chora<\/strong>, the island\u2019s capital. From the port, your gaze is drawn irresistibly along Megalochari, the main street, up to the marble bell tower of the Panagia Evangelistria church<\/strong>. A Greek Orthodox pilgrimage site, the white basilica stands on the spot where an icon of the Virgin Mary was discovered in 1823, following the miraculous vision of a nun named Pelagia. This miracle was perceived as a divine omen by a nation seeking independence from Ottoman rule.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to its spiritual significance, the church is also the young Greek state\u2019s first major architectural achievement. A few kilometres north of the city lies the Monastery of Kechrovouni<\/strong>, where the Virgin appeared to Sister Pelagia. The cell occupied by the holy nun is still perfectly preserved.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finally, you can round off this spiritual ascension by climbing the 640-metre mountain Exomvourgo <\/strong>from the village of Xinara.<\/strong> The remains of a Venetian citadel await at the top, along with fantastic panoramic views over the island of Tinos <\/strong>and other Greek islands<\/a>, including Samos<\/strong>, Ikaria<\/strong>, Naxos<\/strong> and Delos<\/strong>. You won\u2019t be able to resist this invitation to contemplate the Aegean Sea! And at the base of the mountain, you\u2019ll find the Catholic Monastery of Ieras Kardias <\/strong>(Sacred Heart).<\/p>\n

Aim for the moon in Volax<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A completely different type of \u2018voyage\u2019<\/strong> awaits in Volax<\/strong>. Set on a plateau surrounded by hills to the north-east of the island, it is one of the oldest villages in Tinos<\/strong>. With two taverns, a church, a small amphitheatre and abandoned houses with doors and walls decorated with the verses of dead poets, the atmosphere is almost surreal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Volax is mainly known for its wickerwork<\/strong>: some of the few remaining heirs to this traditional craft still demonstrate their basket-weaving know-how in their workshops.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Volax\u2019s real curiosity <\/strong>is the dozens of impressive granite boulders<\/strong> strewn around the edge of the village. While some like to think of them as the remains of an ancient struggle between mythological Titans, they are a unique geological phenomenon whose origins remain a mystery. Walking through this astonishing lunar landscape <\/strong>will certainly fire your imagination.<\/p>\n

Dovecotes <\/strong>can also be admired lower down in the valley, mostly near the village of Tarambados<\/strong>. The countryside of Tinos is dotted with several hundred of these architectural masterpieces! Make the time to follow one of the many paths that criss-cross the island to admire these finely crafted little habitats. Made of slate and lime, they date back to a time when Venice ruled the island. A demonstration of craftsmanship at its best!<\/p>\n

Pyrgos: set in stone<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Once you reach Pyrgos<\/strong>, you are at the \u2018marble heart\u2019 of Tinos<\/strong>. From its central square to its cemetery, via its fountains and whitewashed houses with marble detailing, the precious rock is omnipresent in this village in the north-west of the island<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As you explore its narrow streets, you\u2019ll pass a string of workshops run by the worthy disciples of Phidias<\/strong>. This great master of Classical Greek sculptural design is said to have shared his art with the inhabitants of Tinos. Admire and listen to these master marble-workers as they breathe life into their blocks of stone in keeping with this time-honoured art.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This art is carefully preserved within the walls of the Museum of Marble Crafts<\/strong>, perched on the hilltop at the edge of the village. And it is also perpetuated at the prestigious School of Fine Arts in Pyrgos,<\/strong> whose mission is to ensure the continuation of this ancestral know-how, which is listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Opened in 1955, this institution is unique in Greece and has seen some of the biggest names in neoclassical Greek sculpture<\/strong> pass through its doors, as well as restorers of the Acropolis monuments. Its students include local sculptor Yannoulis Chalepas<\/strong> (1851-1938), whose house and studio you can visit.<\/p>\n
