On the one hand, the beautiful beaches with crystal blue-green waters and silver-green sand, hidden or more open bays, small mountains, plateaus and green small valleys, dry rocks that cross and demarcate the land, hidden springs compose the unique landscape of Tinos.

On the other hand, small scattered white medieval villages, dozens of chapels (1200) and dovecotes (over 600), scattered as if by the hand of God where the soul stands and listens, cool squares paved under old plane trees, compose the architectural landscape.
