There was a time when Kionia attracted a different type of visitors than today's swimming and sunbathing tourists. An important religious centre and a temple dedicated to Poseidon was situated here in the 4th century BC. The pilgrims visited Kionia to bathe and purify themselves before they visited Apollo's sacred island of Delos. The ruins of the temple remains.

ACCOMMODATION IN KIONIA

The range of hotels and pensions are large and that thanks to it being so close to Tinos town. The Tinos Beach Hotel you see above is a bit too impersonal for me, I would have chosen to book Big Blue instead.

Along the road from Tinos town to Kioni you pass by a small beach where there is a church called Stavros. The beach is nothing to write home about. Further on to the west is a beautiful bathing-place where you can swim off the rocks.
