The Area
Thetis is located just above the south coast of Tinos, between the beaches of Agios Fokas and Agios Sostis/Laouti, which are a 5- and 10-minute drive away respectively. Both have a few tavernas and cafés, and the latter also has a couple of minimarkets. Just below the house, less than 10 minutes' walk away, is a little beach. Other gorgeous beaches nearby include those of Agali and Agios Ioannis.
The island’s capital, Tinos Town, is about 10 minutes’ drive away, and it is here that you will find a wider selection of amenities, from minimarkets and banks to petrol stations and chemists’. It’s a gentle place, with a weave of pretty streets, a good range 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.
The interior of Tinos is mountainous and home to a liberal scattering of pretty whitewashed villages just waiting to be explored. 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, after the lovely village of Pyrgos (Panormos) 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 22-35 minutes, meaning that it’s perfectly viable to go for a daytrip.
