Tinos - Cyclades

Each year on August 15th , pilgrims make their way to the capital and the church of the Holy Virgin, which contains an icon said to have miraculous healing powers. The church was built in 1833 and the hole structure with its arches and cells are made from marble provided by the island's quarries. Tinos is a green and fertile, with small valleys which produce fruit, olives and grapes. Tiny villages with their spotlessly clean white houses are matched by the island's countless clean white bays.
