Walking Tinos Island Tour
Prices
Highlights
Wander old paths for an idyllic week on tranquil Tinos
Spend a week in tranquillity, walking around the teeny tiny island of Tinos. This lesser-known island is part of Greece’s famous Cycladic Islands, renowned for their classic white houses with deep blue doors and shutters. And, of course, the sparkling Aegean Sea surrounds you at every step. After a week walking on Tinos Island, you will know it like the back of your hand. Only sleeping in two towns, you’ll get familiar with two villages, meeting locals, and finding your favourite restaurants, viewpoints, and alleyways.
While walking around this island, soak up the quintessential Greek scenery. Every village is comprised of a smattering of white buildings, stacked on a hillside, connected by narrow alleys. You’ll visit a couple of villages where the locals produce handicrafts and another where marble is the claim to fame. Enjoy the warm weather, magical sunrises, sunsets, and wander on Tinos Island at your own pace on the Walking Tinos Island Tour.
Walking Tinos Island Tour Itinerary
Day 1 Arrive on Tinos Island
You made it! You’re in one of the most world-renowned areas of Greece: the Cyclades. Once you arrive on Tinos island, take a taxi to the small village of Falatados in the centre of the island. Be wowed by the smattering of typical white houses hugging the hillside.
Once you settle into your hotel, wander the narrow alleyways, soak up the Greek island vibes and get a taste of the cuisine you’ll enjoy for the next week.

Sip a coffee on a marble terrace, then continue on old farmer paths dotted with windmill ruins, walk downhill to Panormos and relax on its sandy beach.

What travellers say
Stephen L.
I’ve been using 10A route guides for a while, but had never booked a tour. My wife and I booked a self-guided hike in Greece and were so impressed with how we were able navigate the route without a guide with the detailed and easy to follow itinerary. We enjoy travelling independently, and 10A made that happen.
Melinda S.
I was going through a tough time and really needed a getaway so I decided to book a tour through 10Adventures. My trip to Peru changed my life in so many positive and eye-opening ways. I am so thankful for the kind, empathetic team at 10Adventures.
Lina K.
I’ve adventured around a lot of Canada and the US, but I’ve always wanted to explore other parts of the world. I felt a bit scared before booking my trip to Israel, but my conversations with the team at 10Adventures helped ease any worry. I can’t wait to explore more of the world!
Gabriela H.
Travel companies have had to go through a lot during the pandemic but 10Adventures were super flexible and accommodating nonetheless. I had to cancel my tour in France due to the pandemic. 10Adventures was great and let me reschedule for a later date!
Mikael V.
My wife Sarah and I had a great experience booking our 7-day cycling trip through Portugal via 10Adventures. The communication between us and Nadine leading up the trip was top-notch!
Alexandra D.
Communicating with 10Adventures feels like talking with a family-run business. I love to explore and travel, and exploring with the comfort of knowing I can talk to the team at 10Adventures with almost immediate feedback helps to ease any stress that comes with adventuring!
Eric S.
Whenever I’m looking for my next adventure 10Adventures never fails. Their routes all over England are my main go to for exploring and I have only had great experiences booking both guided and self-guided trips in Europe and South America with them. I am looking into Africa next.
Valeria R.
I tend to have a lot of questions before travelling and was so happy to find that the team at 10Adventures responded to every single one of my inquiries in a timely fashion. I was never left waiting and waiting for a response. This was much appreciated!
Isabella N.
I have horrible dietary issues making it super hard to book a pre-planned trip sometimes, but the communication through 10Adventures helped me navigate this situation! I am so grateful for all of their help. I cant wait to book with them again!
Erika S.
I just got back from backpacking in the Sierra Nevada, and WOW. What an unreal journey! The alpine meadows, waterfalls, and the lakeside camping spot were memorable highlights! I wonder what other tours 10Adventures has to offer. That one went so well that I am now convinced I need to book another!
Robert D.
I'm not a big fan of traveling because of my fear of flying, but my girlfriend convinced me to go on the Aurora Borealis Tour in the Yukon. I will never forget the mesmerizing northern lights. Such a romantic (and cold) getaway. I would highly recommend it.
Monica L.
Wow! I am so happy with the experience I had with booking through 10Adventures for my tour in Italy! I worked with Nadine and she was super easy-going and helpful when it came to tweaking the itinerary provided on the website. 10/10 would book through 10Adventures again.
