Stylish, geometric, minimalist and spacious, Dryope is a contemporary gem that rises gracefully in its panoramic hillside position above the sandy beach of Agios Romanos. Voluminous, light-filled interiors embrace and flow out onto shaded and sun-worshipping terraces, views stretch out across the glistening Aegean Sea to neighbouring Syros, and the atmosphere is one of tranquillity, privacy and rarefied seclusion.

The Area

Dryope occupies a fabulous panoramic position looking out to sea mid-way up the west coast of Tinos.

Below on the coast, a 700m-walk or drive away, is the gorgeous sandy beach of Agios Romanos, which also has a couple of tavernas. Other beaches nearby include the one at Apigania.

The island’s capital, Tinos Town, is just 20 minutes’ drive away, and it is here that you will find all the amenities you might require, from minimarkets and banks to petrol stations and chemists’. It’s a gentle place, with a weave of pretty streets, a good selection of tavernas, and a bustling port. Arguably the star of the show is the church of Panagía Evangelístria, one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the Greek Orthodox world. Built in 1830 in florid renaissance style, it houses an icon of the Virgin Mary that is said to have performed numerous miracles.

Measuring just 27km long and 13km wide, Tinos is easy to explore in a week or two. The west coast is a series of little coves, many of which have little sandy beaches, and a day or two exploring these by boat is highly recommended, also because some are difficult to access on foot or by car. Longer stretches of sand can be found at Agios Fokas and Laouti on the south coast below Tinos Town.

The interior of Tinos is mountainous and home to a liberal scattering of pretty whitewashed villages, such as Pyrgos (Panormos), Steni, Dio Choria, Komi, Ysternia, Tripotamos and Skalados. Many of these have their origins in Byzantine and Venetian times and it is no coincidence that they were all built at a safe distance from the sea. The rocky landscape is also home to numerous intricately designed dovecots and cylindrical windmills, both architectural traditions introduced by the Venetians, who ruled the island between the 13th and the early 18th century.

The most northerly quarter of Tinos is largely uninhabited, but there is a curious profusion of churches and chapels. The simple roads that connect them are interesting to explore on foot or bike, and one really has the feeling of being off the beaten track.

The highest point of the island is the mountain of Tsiknias, which stands at 750m, but arguably the most interesting peak is the jagged stone cone of Exomvourgo (641m). It was here that the Venetians built an impregnable fortress that was never vanquished, despite numerous attempts by Ottoman forces. It only fell into Ottoman hands in 1715, when the governor surrendered, an act of treachery that enraged La Serenissima so much that he was sentenced to life imprisonment on his return home.

Lastly, if you wish to indulge in a little island-hopping, frequent ferry services connect Tinos Town to Mykonos. Crossings take just 22-35mins, meaning that it’s perfectly viable to go for a daytrip.

15mins to Mykonos New Port, 20-35mins (approx.) ferry crossing to Tinos Port + 20mins from Tinos Port to villa

An illustration of a guest book

5 out of 5 for Dryope. The chefs were exceptional, both in their skills in the kitchen as well as their warm spirits and humor. They were one of the highlights of our trip for sure. Tinos is beyond magical in every way and I'd HIGHLY recommend it to all of my friends or anyone who would listen! We particularly loved Levada Beach, the hikes we did at Volax and Alley of the Mills and also utilizing Lefko Beach Bar just below the house. We visited about 10 beaches total and another 10 villages and enjoyed them all. Just a truly exceptional, magical place!
