Home to over 60 Cycladic villages, Tinos is the hidden gem of the Greek islands. Villa life is the norm here, and over the years Tinos has attracted a wealth of writers, poets and thinkers, many of who reside here round trip. You’ll be tempted to throw out your return ticket once you spend some time at the pristine beaches, churches and countless Monasteries, most built with local white marble. Set out for a quaint village like Volax, the fountains and arches of Kardiani, or relax in Isternia, the balcony of the Aegean.
Seamlessly slotting into Tinos’ wild and remote surroundings, design hotel Under The Sun is a raw and natural addition to this dramatic cliff-scape where Aegean blues blend sky with sea and a rugged architecture creates the perfect setting for a soulful escape.
