While Mykonos often steals the spotlight with its cosmopolitan flair and lively beaches, there lies a quieter, equally enchanting destination just a short ferry ride away — Tinos Island. Known for its sacred sites, traditional villages, and rich cultural heritage, Tinos is a captivating alternative that lets visitors slow down, explore, and embrace authentic Greek life.
With TPO Travel as your local partner, you can offer your clients a seamlessly organized, inspiring day trip that reveals the soul of this beautiful island — making their Mykonos vacation truly unforgettable.
A Short Scenic Ride — Arrival in Tinos
Your clients’ day begins with an easy meeting at Mykonos’ new port in Tourlos, where a friendly TPO Travel correspondent greets them with a warm welcome and quick briefing.
From here, they’ll hop aboard a comfortable ferry for the brief 30-minute sail across the Aegean Sea. The short cruise is already part of the experience — your clients can stand on deck, feel the ocean breeze, and admire Mykonos gradually shrinking into the distance as they draw closer to lush, mountainous Tinos.
First Stop — The Spiritual Heart of Tinos Town
Upon arrival in Tinos, a private bus and expert local guide — arranged by TPO Travel — will be waiting to whisk your clients away for a fully guided tour of the island’s most treasured sites.
First on the agenda is Tinos Town itself, the island’s charming port capital and home to one of the most famous pilgrimage churches in all of Greece: the Panagia Evangelistria (Our Lady of Tinos). Known for its miraculous icon and rich history of devotion, this church draws visitors from across the world.
Your clients will marvel at the ornate architecture, touch the sacred icon, and take in the hushed atmosphere of this deeply revered sanctuary. Please note that the church and monastery require respectful dress — men must wear long trousers and women must wear skirts or trousers that cover below the knee — ensuring visitors enter in a manner fitting its sacred status.
Kechrovouni Monastery — A Peek into Devotion and Tradition
Next, the tour ascends into the hills to the Kechrovouni Monastery, an active convent that’s been home to nuns for centuries. Perched high on the mountain slopes, Kechrovouni rewards visitors with a sense of peace and the most gorgeous panoramic views across the island and sea.
Your clients will discover the rich religious tradition that has shaped Tinos as they explore the monastery’s graceful whitewashed courtyards and chapels, hearing fascinating stories about its resident nuns who continue to live by age-old traditions.
Volax — A Village of Basket Makers and Moonlike Landscapes
Then it’s onward to Volax, one of the most picturesque villages on Tinos. Famous for its centuries-old craft of basket-weaving, this traditional settlement is also set in a landscape so otherworldly it looks like something from another planet — huge boulders strewn across the hills, sculpted by wind and time.
Your clients will love strolling its tiny lanes, meeting the skilled basket makers who carry on their family craft, and browsing small workshops where handmade wicker treasures can be purchased as one-of-a-kind souvenirs.
Pigeon Houses and Marble Villages — A Walk through Time
From Volax, the tour winds its way into the Valley of the Venetian Pigeon Houses — a scenic countryside dotted with beautiful 18th-century dovecotes adorned with intricate geometric patterns. These pigeon houses stand as reminders of Tinos’ rich Venetian past and agricultural history — your clients will appreciate the stories that have shaped these unique structures as they admire the architecture up close.
No trip to Tinos is complete without visiting Pyrgos, the famed marble village and artistic center of the island. Here, marble is not just a material — it’s a legacy. Renowned sculptors, marble workers, and craftsmen call this village home, creating works of art that continue a tradition passed down through generations.
Your clients can explore the winding marble-paved streets, admire elegant marble fountains and archways, or even visit the Museum of Marble Crafts to deepen their appreciation of this centuries-old craft.
Endless Scenic Beauty — Capturing the Spirit of the Island
Every stretch of this tour reveals another layer of Tinos’ natural beauty — from terraced hills and windswept villages to expansive views across the blue expanse of the Aegean Sea. Whether your clients are history buffs, photographers, or simply travelers looking for serenity and authenticity, they’ll treasure every moment.
And all along the way, TPO Travel’s local guides will add color and context to every stop — sharing myths, anecdotes, and insights into local life that transform a sightseeing trip into an unforgettable cultural experience.
Free Time in Tinos Town — Shopping, Dining, and Strolling by the Harbor
Back in Tinos Town, your clients will have some free time to explore at their own pace before the return ferry to Mykonos. The bustling harbor front offers plenty of cozy cafés, traditional tavernas, and shops full of handcrafted souvenirs, delicious local treats, and Greek delicacies.
Whether they choose to sip a coffee by the sea, browse elegant jewelry, or simply take a leisurely walk through the lively streets, this relaxed interlude allows them to savor the local charm before sailing home.
