Tinos, Greece.

The island of Tinos, Greece, is often considered the most-visited Greek island — by Greeks! While there, Star Clippers guests likely will feel like a local, with 90 percent of visitors hailing from somewhere else in Greece.

While on the island guests may want to visit the Church of the Megalochari or Panayia Evangelistria, overlooking Tinos Town, the port. The ancient icon is viewable by the public, and is believed to have particularly potent healing powers. Because of this, Tinos is sometimes called the “Little Lourdes of Greece,” after the famous French shrine.

Around the church complex guests will find a variety of museums and galleries including the Archeological Museum of Tenos.

Wandering through the islands cruisers will note hundreds of dovecotes, complex and beautiful structures intended to house pigeons or doves, dotting the island as well as lovely fountains adorning many of the villages.

Another shoreside option in Tinos is to stroll through one the many picturesque villages. Tinos is blessed with 10 historical footpaths covering 63 kilometers, which connect most of the villages and several of the beaches. The paths are marked with numbers and there are signposts at intersections that tell you which way to go and how long it should take you to get there.
