Welcome to Tinos Island - Aegean Cyclades
Location is widely acknowledged as a vital factor in the property development market, yet surprisingly few people make the connection of location to the development of great civilisations. It was no accident that Greek civilisation started in antiquity and made an enduring impact throughout the civilised world. 'Location' made Greece.
Tinos Island is situated in the middle of the Aegean sea within the Cyclades. Endowed with a near perfect climate and stunning natural beauty, it has arguably the clearest seas anywhere in the world.
Its archaeological remains date back to the earliest times, acting as a magnet for culturally aware tourists, although it is pilgrims that make Tinos the busiest passenger port in Greece after Piraeus. Known as 'Holy Island' or the island of Virgin Mary, a 1971 Act of the Greek Parliament conferred sacred status and an earlier 1835 Royal Act established the Institution of 'Pilgrimage of All Orthodoxy'. Pilgrimages take place throughout the year to witness the miraculous Icon at Megalocahri Church and to visit the monastery at Kechrovouni. The Icon was unearthed in 1822, at the site identified in a vision to St. Pelagia, who was a nun at Kechrovouni.
The Tinos Island authorities consented to the bold and farsighted decision by town planning authorities in this increasingly 'opportunistic' age, to designate all towns and villages on the island as preservation areas. This action has severely limited the scope and nature of off-plan property for sale on Tinos, and removed the treat of uncontrolled developments that have blighted other previous beauty spots in the Mediterranean.
This far-sighted policy has protected Tinos Island from the fate of uncontrolled developments that have blighted other former beauty spots in the Mediterranean. For example, the restrictions on available land for building, and the requirement to build in the Tinian style makes renovation of existing properties one of the few options available for creating modern dwellings. It also means that there are no sky-rise concrete hotels on the whole island.
If you value natural beauty, crystal clear seas, the Greek culture, religion, the arts and pursuits like walking... you will fall in love with Tinos Island.
TINOS ISLAND GREEK VILLAS FOR SALE

Triantaros
The villas for sale are located in the picturesque and sought-after village of Triantaros. The property market values Triantaros as the most desirable village in Tinos, due to its breathtaking views over the Aegean Sea and close proximity to both the capital Chora and some of the best beaches on Tinos Island.
Triantaros is situated approximately 7 km North East of Tinos town, 370 meters above sea level on the slopes of the Kechrovouni mountain. Home to 25 local families, this most beautiful of villages is increasingly popular as a Summer residence with Greek and foreign nationals, together with its near neighbour Berdemiaros.
Triantaros village has two traditional taverns. The first one "Lefkes" is situated in the lower part of the village, on the main road. The second tavern "Helena's Koutouki" is on the upper main pathway of the village, just opposite the entrance to The Old Stone House Complex, which also serves as a meeting place for the locals and residents of the village. Both taverns offer excellent local food, drinks, coffees and refreshments.
Its mild Winters and refreshing Summer months, coupled with magnificent Cycladic landscape and sea views make it a perfect location for holidays and permanent residence, with its local baker and easy access to Tinos town for banking, social and travel connections.
Highest quality renovation
The properties for sale offer a level of construction quality, finish and design unique throughout the Cycladic region.

TRAVEL AND TOURIST INFORMATION
Tinos town in the South East of Tinos Island is the capital town and the island's principal port. Tinos island is approximately 16 miles by 8 miles (22 km by 12km) with a main road that links Tinos port in the South East with the North Western town and port of Panormos through Pyrgos with its Higher School of Arts. The central mountainous backbone of the island is skirted by smaller roads that link the 50 or so villages.
Visitors normally arrive by high speed boat or ferry. The alternative is a 35 minute flight to nearby Mykonos or Syros and a 20 or 60 minute transfer by high speed boat or ferry respectively.
The sailing times from Rafina on the mainland is 2 or 4 hours by high speed boat or ferry respectively, and between 3 and 5 hours from Piraeus.
A turbulent history has endowed the island with a rich legacy of artifacts, buildings and archaeological remains through its length and breath. Although the sea will prove an irrestible attraction, together with the beautiful walks through unspoilt and hilly countryside, visitors are advised not to miss the sight of the craftsman working the marble, as they have for centuries.
Pilgrims to Tinos will want to visit Church of the Virgin Mary with its miraculous Icon, and the holy monastery of the Lady of the Angels on Kechrovouni, that is serviced by nuns and has provided continuous service for over one thousand years.
