Day 7: Departure

Day 1:    Arrival on Tinos

In the morning you take a ferry from Piraeus, Rafina or other island that connects with Tinos and arrive in the port of Tinos. A taxi takes you to the village Falatados in the inner land. It is definitely worthwhile to spend some time exploring the narrow alleys in Falatados and discover this very traditional village in your own way.

Day 2:    Circular walk from Falatados (4.5 - 12.5 km / 3 - 8 mi)

You can make a round walk from Falatados. Via a kalderimi you walk to the village Myrsini and descend to the (dry) river bed of the Livada river. You can opt to return from here via another kalderimi back to Falatados and enjoy some free time or you may continue to Livada beach and return partly via the same route.

Challenge: 2 / 5 hours, 4.5 - 12.5 km / 3 - 8 mi, 200 / 440 m ascent, 200 / 440 m descent

Day 3:    Circular walk around Exobourgo (16 km / 10 mi)

Todays walk is a great walk leading you all around the remarkable Exombourgo mountain and along the finest villages of Tinos. On the top of this mountain you find the Venetian Fortress Exoburgo. You walk through valleys and terraced fields, through villages with narrow alleys and along numerous churches and a monastery. In the wide valley between Loutra and Kambos are the finest dovecotes that are so characteristic for Tinos Island. 

Challenge: 7 hours, 16 km / 10 mi, 220 m ascent, 220 m descent

Day 4:    Circular walk via Volax, Komi (16 km / 10 mi)

You follow route nr. 5 from Falatados and veer to the north to Volax. This is a traditional village where handicrafts are still being practiced. The village is situated in a peculiar landscape where you see huge round granite stones. It looks like you are landed on the moon here. Then you continue via a surprisingly green stream bed to the charming village Agapi (literally: love). You may walk to Komi either via a bit overgrown kalderimi OR you can opt to walk this traject via the tarmac road. From Kami you climb up to the village of Loutra, where you will find a few old and famous monasteries. Another climb leads you to Koumaros and from there you descend and walk back to Falatados.

Challenge: 6 hours, 16 km / 10 mi, 540 m ascent, 540 m descent

Day 5:    Walk from Falatados to Tinos Chora (8 km / 5 mi)

This popular walk on Tinos offers great views on Tinos town and the south coast. You walk through agricultural fields towards the Exobourgo and then head southwards, descending via old mule tracks. You pass a few remarkable ruins of windmills and then descend via a long kalderimi to Tinos town. The walk is only 3 hours and hence there is plenty of time to visit the lively town of Tinos, dominated by the big church of Panagia. Or you may prefer to go to one of the sandy beach that are near the town.

Challenge: 3 hours, 8 km / 5 mi, 100 m ascent, 470 m descent

Day 6:    Round walk from Ormos Panormos (5 - 7 km / 3 - 4,5 mi)

You walk from the marina of Panormos via a gravel road and a kalderimi to Pyrgos. Via marble steps you enter the white village of Pyrgos, which is said to be the prettiest village of Tinos. Marble craftsmen from Pyrgos are famous for their crafts. You may visit the Museum of Marble Crafts in Pyrgos and walk around in the village to admire the marble reliefs on the houses.
On the village square you can opt for a nice coffee in the shade of the 200 year old plane tree. Then you continue your walk via donkey trails to 7 ruins of windmills, situated like giants on the mountain ridge. Then you descend to the quay of Panormos with its sandy beach nearby.

Challenge: 2 / 2.5 hours, 5 - 7 km / 3 - 4,5 mi, 200 m ascent, 200 m descent

Day 7:    Departure

Transfer to the port of Tinos and departure to onward destination per ferry.

REVIEWS

02-09-2018

"Windy Tinos. Hold onto your hat and map!!. Walking in Greek Islsnds in August can be hot madness crowded and usually not recommended, but on Tinos there are no crowds on the walks, the wind offers a welcome break from the sun. And if you want the crowds just head to the town. I really recommend the walk to and from Livada beach, and the day to Agapi and Komi. Take your time. I wish I had spent a little longer exploring the villages. Not forgetting the Levkes Pension. , Simple but everything you need. The food and location make it a great base for exploring"
