Full description

Climb aboard in the new port of Tourlos on the north-west coast of Mykonos and cross the Aegean Sea to the neighboring island of Tinos to experience the authentic culture and traditional hospitality of Greece. Explore the namesake capital to see one of the most important churches in Greece at the Panagía Evangelístria, built around a miraculous icon to the Virgin Mary. Then, travel up to the women's monastery of Kechrovouni high in the mountains to get stunning views of the surroundings. Stroll through the traditional village of Volax to see the basket weavers at work and stop to take souvenir photos of the Venetian-era dovecotes in the valley. Marvel at the marble arts of Pyrgos and get some free time to enjoy a coffee in the shade of a plane tree on the main square before the return boat trip to Mykonos.

My trip overall was fine It started at 1:30 But we were told to be there at 11:20 As it was going to start at 12 Effie was a very sweet and informative girl The only thing I did not like that my last stop was the church Tinos we had only 25 minutes as the church was closing My main trip was to spend more time there and not feel rushed But we went there close to closing time So I did not enjoy the last part of my trip and the most important part as I was rushed and stressed not be able to make it

Highly recommend booking this day trip. Only hiccup I had was the voucher said to be at the port for 11:15am meet up. However when I called because no one was there yet, they said noon meet up. Regardless of that, the guide was very friendly, informative and really knew his stuff. Amazing time seeing so much of Tinos that you couldn't do without private transportation. I did this trip solo and it was great meeting new people on the tour, all who were friendly and outgoing from all over the world. Can't rave enough. Book it!
