Frequently Asked Questions about Tinos Beaches

Tinos is known for its villages. What are its beaches like?

Tinos's coastline is beautifully rugged and authentic. The beaches here feel more natural and less crowded than on other Cycladic islands. You'll find a dramatic contrast between the wild, windswept northern shores like Kolymbithres and the serene, sheltered coves of the southwest, such as Agios Romanos.

I've heard the north of Tinos is windy. Are there any beaches for surfing?

Yes, the 'Meltemi' wind makes the north coast a haven for surfers. The larger of the two beaches at Kolymbithres is the island's main surfing hotspot, with a dedicated surf school. The beauty of this bay is that if the wind is too strong, the smaller, inner cove is completely protected and calm, offering the best of both worlds.

Is it worth traveling to the far north of the island for Panormos beach?

Absolutely. The journey to Panormos is part of the experience, taking you through some of Tinos's most stunning landscapes and near the famous marble village of Pyrgos. Your reward is a picturesque, sheltered fishing harbor with a lovely, calm beach and some of the best and most authentic fish tavernas on the island.

Which beaches are best for a calm, relaxing swim away from the wind?

The southwest-facing beaches are your best bet for tranquility. Agios Romanos is a prime example: a long, quiet bay with crystal-clear water, natural shade from tamarisk trees, and beautiful views across the Aegean to the island of Syros. It's the perfect spot to truly unwind.
