Join us on the Island of Tinos
We have a wonderful week planned in mid September, when the Island weather is still warm, but the Tourist Season is ending. This gives us the ability relax while having less crowds to compete with across the beautiful beaches, hikes and when sharing the local faire.
We will start each Morning and end each Evening with a Pilates Class, and prepare for bed with a Relaxing Meditation.
In between we have beautiful (and optional) itineraries planned to allow you to check out the best beaches, hike to the best vistas, shop, visit archeological and historical sites or enjoy the geological wonders of the island.
We will dedicate one full day to Island hopping to the nearby famous Mykonos.

According to tradition a Nun named Pelagia had mystical visions of Virgin Mary who told her to unearth an old church under a local field. Excavations found an Icon of Annunciation on the first days of the modern Greek State. The Church was built to house the icon which is said to have magical healing properties and brings pilgrims from around the globe.

The main on the Island town, Chora, features 6 iconic windmills and a beautiful maze of white and blue streets filled with restaurants, shops, and clubs. Centuries ago Mykonians purposefully designed the city to confuse invaders. Now it remains a marvelous place to stroll and get a little purposefully lost.
