Description

INFO
Description: Behind the quay lies an entire insular town which retains many of the 19th century elements. While wandering in the alleys the visitor will discover arches, old mansions and churches, villas with large gardens, glens and fountains, cobblestone paths and houses with blazons, all showing the urban development of the town in the period between the 18th and 19th century and proving a past economic and social prosperity.
Interesting is the old road leading to Megalochari (the church of Virgin Mary), a paved pedestrian road full of little shops constructed in the middle of the 19th century. The new wider road, accessible to cars, was constructed later, in the 50s.
It is worth visiting the Textile School, the chapel of St. Nicholas Catholic church, the Tinian Artists Museum and the Art Gallery in Megalochari complex, the Cultural Foundation of Tinos, which hosts the permanent Giannoulis Chalepas exhibition and the Temple of Poseidon and Amphitrite in Kionia.
Dominating above all is Megalochari’s complex which seems to embrace and protect the town from its northern edge where it lies.
