Parties, events and festivals in Tinos

 

Tinos is an island known for its religious nature and surviving traditions. Those who visit it have a chance to experience this first hand.

It goes without saying that Easter in Tinos is a unique, heart-felt and spiritual experience, either you are a Believer or not. Each part of the island decorates its epitaph with great care and the procession is accompanied by chanting and absolute devotion. In many parts of Tinos, like Chora for example, the epitaph enters the sea in memory of all the sailors who lost their lives in the raging waves. The Resurrection with the fireworks and the Easter table complete a once in a lifetime experience that one should definitely live, by choosing Tinos island for Easter holidays.
Adding to that, several festivals and celebrations are organized in Tinos, including:

  • July 23, feast of Agia Pelagia in Kechrovouni Monastery that is accompanied by the transfer of icon of Virgin Mary from Panagia of Tinos to the monastery and then back to the church of Panagia, accompanied by a faithful crowd.
  • August 15, feast of Panagia/ Our Lady of Tinos that takes place in many other areas of the island
  • August 23, feast of Kyra Kseni in the Pyrgos village
  • September 6, feast of Agios Sostis in the namesake area
