Options Near Hora and the South
A short distance from the capital, you will discover the popular and serviced beaches of Kionia, Agios Sostis, and the renowned Kolymbithra. For those who prefer purely sandy shores, the beaches of Tsambia, Agios Fokas, and the tranquil Agios Romanos are exceptional destinations. To the south of Hora, Pachia Ammos lays claim to the title of the island's most beautiful beach, attracting many visitors with its unique landscape.
Northern Explorations and Sheltered Havens
Venturing further north, Apigania and Kantani offer seclusion and serenity for the more solitary travellers. Even further north, Lychnaftia and Santa Margarita await your discovery. Some of the island’s greatest assets are the beaches of Koumela and Mali, which are renowned for their calm waters even when the powerful Meltemi wind is blowing.
The Atmospheric Southwestern Side
On the southwestern side, the experience transforms with the magnificent bay of Ysternia and the atmospheric Vathy. Chalakes, Kalyvia, and the exquisitely beautiful Giannaki bay complete the array of options
Useful Tip: The wind on Tinos governs everything. Before setting off, consult the locals about the weather's wild moods, as they know better than anyone where to find calm waters. After you’re done swimming, be sure to explore the historical sights of the Tinian hinterland.
