The island is home to the Church of Panagia Evangelistria. Probably the holiest Orthodox Christian shrine in Greece. Many travel to Tinos regularly to simply pay their respects, or perform a ‘Tama’. This is the promise of an offering made to the Virgin Mary at a time when someone requires Her assistance. A deeply religious act and a fascinating cultural phenomenon.

Tinos also has a rich tradition of marble carving, which can be visible in the island’s architecture and sculpture. It is also reently becoming popular with the surfing and wind-surfing communities. It is an island boasting culture and beauty. Yet, comfortably away from the hustle and bustle of other widely known Greek islands.
