At times imposing, at others calm, and sometimes even mystifying, the great variety of landscape of Tinos is unique in the Aegean Sea. Touring the island turns out to be a rather seductive discovery of natural beauty: beautiful picturesque villages, rocky footpaths, beaches with crystal clear waters, dovecots, mills, chapels, threshing floors, dry-stone walls, caves, granite boulders, carved by the winds and men who work with ardour.
