Tinos

The last few days have confirmed Tinos as one of our very favourite
places (but it must join Naxos which really pushed its way up there
too).
For such a small place (Island population 8000 shared amongst one town
and 40 odd villages) it has such a lot going for it. The inland and
coastal scenery are stunning, the villages are charming and sometimes
spectacular, and Tinos town is a real gem. There's such a diverse
range of eateries, bars, cafes and so on and an interesting array of
shops, many of which are open till midnight. It's a colourful scene at
night, and lively and bustling but in ever such a friendly way. And
the constant to and fro of ferries, many of them the sleek high speed
variety, is a source of fascination to us.
We're off to Syros tomorrow. Somewhere new, and hopefully somewhere
we'll enjoy and find interesting, though it will be hard pressed to
match Tinos.
