Tinos is home to approximately 10,000 residents, with more making the trek to enjoy the island’s wild beauty, food, culture, and outdoor activities such as hiking and surfing. The island also has significant historic and religious significance. Each year, tens of thousands pay homage to the “Chare Tes” (“Her Grace”) icon of the Virgin Mary at the Church of Panagia Evangelistria, overlooking Tinos town.
