Very few people know the other Tinos—the hidden island with arid mountain slopes, villagesbuilt between huge monoliths, and remote beaches.The island of Tinos is well knownfor its church devoted to the VirginMary, which was built in1823 at the spot where an icon of theVirgin was found. It is also known as theisland where Ghyzis, Chalepas, Lytrasand other famous sculptors and artistswere born. Tourists discovered the islandduring the 1980s and they marveled atits clean beaches, beautiful villages, specialtycheeses, hand-made baskets,marble sculpture, and dovecotes—thetwo-story "houses" for pigeons, elaboratelydecorated with slate designs.Very few people, though, know theother Tinos—the hidden island witharid mountain slopes, villages builtbetween huge monoliths, and remotebeaches. The hidden island of Tinoshas little to do with the island we seeon television on the 15 th of August,when the island holds its famous celebrationof the Virgin Mary.Visitors who want to discover the"other" Tinos can skip the most touristyand commercial parts of the island andinstead make a short journey to themonastery where, according to myth,Saint Pelagia had a vision which led tothe discovery of the famous icon. Alongthe way, views of mountains stretchingacross the island, farms, and beacheswith small coves reward the more adventuroustraveler. Continuing north, onecomes to Steni, Kehro, Falatado and finallyto Volaka, the village of basketweavers. Kolymbethra, a beautiful beachcreated by large smooth gray rocks, isfurther north. Visitors will want to stopat one of these villages to taste the traditionalcuisine of the island. Locals arerightly famed for their fried sun-driedtomatoes, artichokes, sausage with garlic,sun-dried pork, rabbit stew, and cheeses.The next stop, after Volakas, is Pyrgos,home to the School of Fine Artswhere the artistic tradition of the islandis kept alive. Roughly two kilometerswest of Pyrgos are the last two villagesat this end of the island, Panormos—with its own beach—and Marlas.For visitors who make the effort togo beyond the Hora, or main village,Tinos offers satisfying rewards. Customsabandoned in other parts of Greece arekept alive by a local population thatunderstands the value of history, thebeauty of handcrafted items, and theimportance of tradition.The infrastructure of the island israpidly developing, providing a varietyof accommodations. Rooms can befound in Hora and in most villages.For more InformationPiraeus Port Authority: 210-451 1311Rafina Port Authority: 22940-22300Tinos Tourist Police: 22830-2367030 AEGEAN NEWS SPRING 2003
