Tinos
does not lack in natural beauty. An unexpectedly varied landscape unfolds
in light and shadow, naked boulders, lush valleys, and hidden sandy beaches.
The highest mountain peak of the island, Mount Tsiknias was the mythological
home of Aeolos, the god of the winds. The medieval capital, with the ruins
of the old castle, can be found on the imposing granite mass of Xombourgo.
Truly stunning, the lunar landscape near the village of Volax features huge,
precariously balanced, rounded granite rocks strewn over the barren earth.
Tinos has a multitude of beaches, all of them good; the most popular are Aghios Fokas, Kionia, Porto, Aghios Sostis, Panoromos, Kolymbithra, Lyhnaftia, Aghios Romanos, Yiannakis and Ammos Ysternion. |
