Tinos Island is located in the northern part of the Cycladic archipelago. The nearest islands are Andros, Syros and Mykonos. Tinos is a mountainous green (by Greek standards) with a rather rugged coastline length of about 60 nautical miles. The main city and ferry port of the island is Tinos, located in the south of the island. It is 86 nautical miles from Piraeus to Tinos.
In 1822, an icon of the Virgin Mary was discovered on Tinos. Since then it has become one of the religious centers of Greece. The island is famous for its Venetian dovecotes and authentic villages.
Yachts most frequently are visited by the island's main town, Tinos, which is the port of entry. Many anchorages along the island's coastline allow yachts to find shelter in any wind direction.
