Agapi

The picturesque settlement of Agapi lies in the shape of an amphitheatre on the edge of a valley. One of Tinos' most abundant brooks winds its way through the valley, which is dotted with well-preserved dovecotes. The arcades and the houses - with the pretty lintels above their doors and windows - play their part into making Agapi one of the most traditional villages of the island.

Volax

Volakas is a tiny village, located in the interior of the island, almost hidden in the middle of rounded, giant granite blocks, with houses that are built onto the rocks. It is one of the most interesting villages to explore, as its architecture is unique on the island. Many of its houses are actually built on top of the boulders! Although tiny in size, the village has two tavernas, a gift shop, a folklore museum, a small stone open-air theater and a few remaining basket weavers still making their sturdy artifacts. You can also find local honey, herbs, dried figs and tomatoes, capers and wine. Also interesting to view is the tiny Catholic village church next door to the folklore museum. It is exactly what you would expect a village church to look like! A footpath winds down the valley to Agapi village.

Ormos Panormou

Ormos Panormou is the seaport of Pyrgos village and one of the most beautiful destinations in Tinos. Ideal location with smooth traffic. It has a beautiful traditional little port with taverns all along. It is an ideal place to eat or even have a drink or coffee with view to the North side sea and the beautiful small island “Planitis”. Since, however, it is very close to the beaches Rochari, Aghia Thalassa and Kavalourko, you can plan your little excursion first to swim and then to eat. Quality in taverns is almost equally high. However prices range a lot. So, make sure you carefully select by seeing more than one price lists and asking for availability of what is contained in these before you sit.
