Tinos,
the third larger island of the Cyclades, is very near to Andros, Myconos
and Syros. It is four hours far from the port of Rafina and five hours
from the port of Piraeus, when the fast boats reduce the trip to the
half. It is an international Christian Center because of the icon of
Virgin
Mary
and thousands of pilgrims from all over the world visit this holy island
in order to bow before the Our Lady’s icon.
Due to the fact that Tinos is very near to the harbors of Piraeus and
Rafina, there is the possibility for someone to have a day- trip to
Tinos, if the reasons of his visit are only religious.
In such a way, the visitor is able to stay in Tinos only for three
hours so he will have the opportunity to visit the church
of Virgin Mary and the museums which are located near the church. Waiting
for the ship which will lead him back, he can have a coffee or refreshment
at the cafeterias near the port.
The visit in Tinos can last six hours.
