Someone suggested that Tinos is a gorgeous place, and I recently bumped into some photos and I agree.

I want to spend a week somewhere quiet in Greece when I go this year. Do you think there is enough to do on Tinos?

I figure I will spend most of my time on the beach. Does anyone have recommendations for beach and restaurants?

My husband, son and I spent several days on Tinos. It was wonderful. I would highly suggest renting a car so that you can visit around the island. I would also suggest checking out Matt Barrett's Greek website. He has some great information about the island.

That is a great tip about the car. I heard that the driving in Greece can be crazy, but only in the bigger cities. Driving around a smaller island is totally fine. I hope this is true because I think your advice is fantastic!

Spending a week on Tinos can be a great choice for those seeking a peaceful and authentic vacation in the Cyclades. Tinos is one of the less touristy islands in the archipelago and offers a more genuine experience compared to some of the more famous islands like Mykonos or Santorini.

During a week on Tinos, you'll have ample time to explore its beautiful beaches, picturesque villages, and cultural sites. The island is known for its stunning landscapes, traditional architecture, and religious heritage. Make sure to visit the famous Panagia Evangelistria Church, a major pilgrimage site, and explore the charming villages of Pyrgos, Volax, and Kardiani.

Tinos also offers opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking and swimming in secluded coves. The island's gastronomy is noteworthy, with many local tavernas serving delicious traditional dishes. Don't miss trying the local specialties like louza (cured pork) and artichoke-based dishes.

Overall, spending a week on Tinos allows you to immerse yourself in the island's authentic atmosphere, enjoy its natural beauty, and discover its cultural and culinary treasures.

UNESCO Sites Near Athens

I decided to narrow down my list to UNESCO sites in Athens to see. I will be here long enough, and I plan to prioritize the 2 or 3 I really want to see, and then see if the rest happen.

Here's my list:

- Acropolis in Athens - could probably spend a day here - seems like there's a lot to see
- Delphi - I am hoping to be able to do Delphi as a day trip?
- Meteora - is this possible on another day trip?

Did I miss anything? I know I want to do Acropolis and Delphi, not sure I will have time for anything else.

Finding last minute travel deals?

Most of the time when I go to Greece, I know well in advance.

I am thinking of going at the last minute soon, and I wonder how to look for last minute deals?

One thing I did notice is that from the United States, flights tend to go up in price as the date approaches, not down, but I may be able to find deals on hotels etc?

Tips appreciated!

Is Free Camping allowed in Greece? Read this before you go!

How long to spend in Meteora?

I will be in Greece, staying mostly in the Athens area. There are some offshoot trips I want to do, and one of them is Meteora.

Is this truly doable in a day trip from Athens, or is it a good idea to spend a night or two in the area? I want to make sure I don't have loftier expectations than what is possible for seeing it...

What to know about the 'beach towel revolt' taking back Greek beaches.

I sincerely hope by commencement of the next season proper laws, rules and regulations are in place to be fair to all travellers,I doubt very much if anyone has the power to do anything about this in Mykonos!😂😂
