Just a 20- minute ferry ride from Mykonos, the island is worlds away from the hedonistic party scene, and is the perfect location for those looking for a more authentic Greek lifestyle experience.
Tinos has recently started making waves on the international foodie scene, due to its unique landscape producing world-class wines, herbs, honey and cheeses.
It is already an undoubted leader in the realm of Greek wines. T-Oinos Wines is an organic vineyard supplying high-end restaurants across Europe, including Alain Ducasse, whilst the Domaine de Kalathas is an off-grid vineyard making use of 150- year-old un-grafted vines.
In fact, this windswept island is said to be Greece’s new wine frontier, with its sandy soil protecting the local terroir from the phylloxera pest. Meanwhile, beer aficionados with love the multi-award-winning Nissos Microbrewery, open for tours and tastings throughout the summer.
No place has a richer marble-crafting tradition than Tinos, and this glittering white stone is used throughout the island to stunning effect. Discover Pyrgos, an iconic village decorated throughout with intricate marble carvings and almost an outdoor museum in its own right. Be sure to explore the interior of the island, puzzling over the surreal lunar landscape of Volax and its mysterious, monumental boulders. Driving around the island, visitors will spot ornately decorated pigeon houses dotted across the landscape. These dates from the 17th Century, when pigeons were a useful source of both meat and fertiliser
Sports enthusiasts can take advantage of the annual Tinos Challenge, a part of the Cyclades Trail Cup. Held in December, the event includes three demanding races, including a 20km trail, a mountainous sprint and a ‘mini-challenge’. Tinos is also an ideal location for water sports – Kolybithra Beach on the northeast coast is a particular surfing paradise, with wild waves and strong meltemi winds throughout the summer months.
450 meters above the shimmering Aegean, Villa Axis is a breathtaking 240 sqm sanctuary. This exquisite home, nestled on a sprawling 7,600 sqm plot at the edge of Dio Choria village in Tinos, offers an unrivaled 180-degree panorama. On clear days, the view unfolds into a stunning tableau of Cycladic islands, stretching across the horizon like a scattered constellation.
Seamlessly integrated into the landscape, the villa embodies Cycladic minimalism infused with contemporary elegance. A unique opportunity exists to add 140 sqm, ideal for guest accommodations, studios, or expanded entertainment areas.
The interiors are adorned with original wall paintings by globally acclaimed street artists, creating a striking contrast between rugged island textures and avant-garde creativity. Each room tells a story, inviting both conversation and contemplation.
Axis is more than a residence—it’s a living canvas designed for inspiration.
Beyond its stunning interior, the villa presents an irresistible outdoor experience. A 25-meter lap pool cuts elegantly across the terrace, resembling a sapphire ribbon, ideal for athletic pursuits or leisurely lounging. Flourishing, developed gardens burst with native flora, ensuring privacy and tranquility, and a generous sun deck provides the ultimate spot for witnessing the island’s iconic sunsets.
Axis is within easy walking distance to Dio Choria village, known for its authentic tavernas, cobbled alleys, and warm community. It offers the rare combination of seclusion and sociability—ideal for those seeking a genuine Cycladic lifestyle without compromise.
