Lesser known beaches on Tinos |
Agios Romanos lies a few kilometres northwest of Kionia. It is a very quiet little fishing port with a long narrow sandy beach lined with shady tamarisk trees. The beach is perfect if you want to be a little bit for yourself. It's very quiet. Tavernas and hotels are available.
The beach of Agios Romanos is not far from Kionia beach.
Here I sit and wait for the bathers to take photos...
...and finally there are some, and I can take the picture above. |

Take the opportunity to eat fresh fish and seafood when you are in Agios Romanos.
A further few kilometres to the northwest, below the mountain village of Kardiani, lies the two beaches of Kalivia and Giannaki. Kalivia is one of my favourite beaches on Tinos. The upper parts of the beach, by the tamarisk trees, is full of large stones, but further down the sand is fine and the water is crystal clear.
Kalivia beach is located below the village of Kardiani.

There is a taverna and sunbeds for rent at Kalivia beach.
Giannaki is more developed than Kalivia, here is a lot of summer houses, and there is a taverna. The beach is not as nice as Kalivia. As compensation one have a beautiful view towards Syros and up to Kardiani.
Giannaki beach is located after Kalivia beach.
Lichnaftia lies north of Pachia Amos beach on the eastern parts of Tinos. The beach is long and covered with large pebbles. It is not easy to get into the water. Bathing shoes are a must. The beach is difficult to reach. The road to Lichnaftia begins at the village of Triandaros, just before the village of Dio Choria. The trip is not worth the effort unless you like beautiful stones, for these are plentiful.
Lichnaftia beach is north of Pachia Ammos beach.
The beach is very rocky but the water is absolutely wonderful.
As far as I know, there are no hotels at Lichnaftia beach, but there are hammocks. :-) |
