Tinos beaches: windswept sand and sheltered bays
Tinos rewards beach-hunters who follow the wind. When the meltemi blows, sheltered southern bays like Agios Fokas and Agios Ioannis Porto stay swimmable and family-friendly. Kolymbithra on the north coast is a two-bay beach that draws surfers and a younger crowd to its organised side. For seclusion, drive to Livada or Pachia Ammos, wide, wild stretches backed by dunes and granite boulders.
