"small picturesque alleys" Tinos Things to Do Tip by mindcrime

Most visitors of Tinos island don’t like Tinos town because of the ugly architecture near the port. Unfortunately the authorities didn’t push to keep a local style like they did in Mykonos and the area lost its charming comparing to other cycladitic islands.

But if you walk just 100 meters over the port you will get lost in some beautiful small alleys, I’ve seen a picturesque district at the back side of the Archeological museum, admired some nice houses, colors and images so typical in Cyclades, white washed houses with nice inner yards and red flowers upon the walls etc

So, don’t judge of what you see from the port only, old Tinos is hiding at the back alleys that is worth to be explored, ask for Malamatenia, Ai Nikola church and the old districts of Pallada and Agiou Eleytheriu.

Directions: the area at the back side of the port up the hill on the left side as you walk towards Evagelistria church
