"Aghios Fokas" (Saint Fokas)
Η παραλία του Αγ. ΦωκάIt is the biggest and one of the most beautiful and varied beaches on the island. It is only a few minutes far from "Chora" and can be reached on foot. It includes everything a beach can offer. In some parts there is only sand, in others only pebbles or both, while pines and thrift offer some shade along the coast. Restaurants, cafeterias, rooms to let, umbrellas and deck chairs, but also beach-bars offering sea sports, satisfy any taste. The heliport of the island is placed here, beside the middle of the beach. Saint Fokas is ideal for swimming, wind-surfing, jogging and strolling up to the ancient hill of "Vriocastro", with a view to Delos and Mykonos. 

"Stavros"(The Holy Cross)
Η παραλία του ΣταυρούWestwards, at a short distance from "Chora", there is the ancient port of "Stavros". This small picturesque beach, where the ruins of the harbor columns are still visible, is ideal mainly for an afternoon swim, while its sunset view is remarkable. The small homonymous chapel and the minimal ouzo-tavern just behind it, offers fresh octopuses and other seafood, rewarding the tourists for their choise.

"Aghios Markos"(Saint Marcus)
Η παραλία του Αγ. ΜάρκουBeside "Stavros", there is "Aghios Markos". The small picturesque chapel is built on the rock that hides the small beach beneath it. The pebbles and the crystal clear water attract those who do not prefer the water to be warm. When the strong northern wind blows, "Aghios Markos" is considered a hideaway and an ideal solution for the bathers.

"Kionia"
Η παραλία των ΚιονίωνRight after "Aghios Markos" we come across the beaches of "Kionia" and "Tsambia", the latter owing its name to the historical homonymous river "Sampias" ending here. The extended beach with pebbles and pines is located in front of the archeological site of "Kionia", with the Sanctuary of Poseidon and Amphitrite just opposite Syros. A multitude of restaurants and rooms to let, meet the most different needs. After "Kionia", there is a series of small bays with the last one, "Platia Ammos", or "Germanos" as the locals call it, being the most beautiful.

"Aghios Sostis"
Η παραλία του Αγ. ΣώστηA few miles east from "Chora" there is a series of popular sand beaches, with a marvelous view to Mykonos. The first one is Aghios Sostis, named after the beautiful church on the beach, dating back to the 19th century. This leeward and shallow beach is ideal for diving and attracts not only families but also individual tourists.

"Laouti or Skylandar"
This beach together with the nearby "Aghia Kyriaki" is ideal for families, because it combines the clean sea with a nice sandy beach not only for sunbathing but also sports. The cafeterias and taverns are an interesting feature for the visitor.

"Aghios Ioannis Porto"
In the east side of "Agia Kiriaki" we meet the gulf of "Aghios Ioannis Porto" which formerly had been a little port. It is one of the most popular and crowded beaches of the island. It is named after a little chapel on a rock by the beach. The lovely dark and compact sand, the shallow sea and the shadowy trees make it an ideal destination. A coffee-bar and umbrellas are an additional service to the bathers.

"Pachia Ammos"
Just the name (thick sand) prepares the visitors of this beach about what to be expecting. Here the sand is compact and darker than usual, the water is blue-green and the sand-dunes remind us of the desert. Apart from a pleasant swim, the location is perfect for playing games.

"Lychnaftia"
Along the road to "Triandaros"-"Dyo Choria" we come across the intersection leading to "Lychnaftia" beach. It is a special coast with sand, pebbles and luxuriant vegetation. The rocks at its edge, offer shadow and form natural chambers. The green water is always cool and Mykonos seems very close.

"Santa Margarita"
After the village "Potamia", we descend to "Santa Margarita". It is a quiet little sandy beach that owes its name to the homonymous catholic chapel of the area. The fact that it does not draw round a lot of people, makes it the first choice to anyone that likes privacy and quiet. 

"Livada"
Η παραλία της ΛιβάδαςIt is a unique beach which you can reach by continuing down the road "Steni- Myrsini". The natural landscape beguiles every visitor, with the little river flowing out into the sea, forming a small lake, the strange massive rocks, the wind and the waves. The beach is ideal when calm. It has pebbles that continue into the sea which deepens unexpectedly. As in "Kolymbithra", when the northern wind blows, the waves are high, lively and remind us of exotic places. The location is ideal for an exploration and the tourist can walk beside the river under the oak trees, take pictures and eat at the tavern. 

"Kolybithra"
ΚολυμπήθραIn "Komi", we come across the crossroads to "Kolybithra". After a pleasant trip through the little fertile valley, we end up at the beaches of "Kolybithra". It is a natural twofold sea-basin, with "Drakonisi" just outside the middle of the gulf. A little lake with ducks, turtles and other animals is beside it. The place has been declared as a natural bird-reservation because several rare bird species pass through here. The biggest sea basin is less crowded, but fewer people prefer to swim there, due to the waves created by the northern wind. The smaller bay is the most popular for swimmers. It is protected from the wind, and considered ideal for beach sports on the sand, with umbrellas and deck chairs, making it one of the most popular destinations for any visitor. The fish-taverns near and above the beach, offer hospitality to the bathers. The old establishment of the Ursuline nuns’ summer camp, currently belonging to the Leondios School, is also placed here.

"Aghios Romanos"
It is located in the southern coast of the island, with a small summerhouse area built during the 80’ies. It has an unobstructed view of the Aegean and Syros. The long beach is sandy with shadowy trees. At the edge of the beach there is a small port with a homonymous chapel. A tavern welcomes the visitors. West from "Aghios Romanos" you can see the beautiful deserted beach of "Apigania" with green-turquoise waters. To reach that beach you have to take a small path. Bring along water and an umbrella.

"Aghios Petros"
It is the first of the three beaches of the village "Kardiani" (along with "Kalivia" and "Ormos Giannaki"). In the middle of this beach, on a rock, there is the homonymous catholic chapel (built in the 16th century) that separates the coast in two parts. Here, on 30/09/44 German invaders were hit when landing from the sea. You can enjoy the quietness the place can offer, the crystal clear water and the thin white sand.

"Ormos Giannaki"
It is located under the beautiful village of "Kardiani", which is literally climbing on the mountain. Apart from the asphalt roadway connecting the beach to the village, there is also an old traditional marble clad path. It is a family beach with pebbles and sand and there are taverns there. East of "Ormos Giannaki", there is "Kalyvia"-beach, a quiet and peaceful coast with sand and shadowy vegetation. Ιστέρνια

"Ormos Ysternion"
It is the seaport of the homonymous village and had been a port in the past. It is a summer resort with several vacation houses, coffee-shops and taverns near the sea. Beside this coast, there is the beach "Skinaki" with rich sand and a little thrift that offers shadow. This leeward coast is an ideal choice when the northern winds are blowing.

"Mali"
ΜαλίAt the northwestern edge of Tinos, there is a picturesque cove discovered and loved by several people who built some houses recently, due to the new road that was opened, starting from the village "Marlas". This romantic landscape opposite the coast of Andros is ideal for an idyllic promenade along the white-pebbled beach and a swim in the clear turquoise waters.

"Panormos"
Παραλία ΠανόρμουIt is an old port of Tinos and the seaport of "Pyrgos" with the island "Planitis" in front of the center of the bay. There are several beautiful beaches around this port. The one in the cove with a little lake with ducks, turtles and other animals, attracts people due to this particularity but also because it is located almost inside the thorp with the white houses, the sea food taverns and the boats swaying in the calm water. On the left of "Panormos" there is a series of beautiful beaches, the most interesting being "Agia Thalassa". With its marvelous sand it is an ideal destination when the northern wind blows, because it is protected. On the right side of "Panormos" at a distance of 1 km, we come across the beach of "Rohari". It is a big cove with clean sand, light blue water and shadowy trees. A beach bar and showers are at the swimmers’ disposition.
