Ideal for families, romantic couples, and adventure-lovers (surfing, climbing and trekking are the draw here); Tinos has also become popular with a sophisticated crowd, looking for the beauties of the Cyclades in a not-so-touristy package. Just remember, do not judge this island by its port (Chora) when you arrive, because you will be disappointed; it is once you leave it behind and set off for the villages that you will begin to unlock the secrets of Tinos and learn to love it forever.
