DAY 2
Wake up to the lovely port of Tinos and get ready to explore the island known for its unspoiled architecture and traditional culture. Walk the town of Tinos and visit Mary’s church. Hike rural mountain trails and visit the world known Volax, meeting point for climbers from around the world for bouldering. An impressive granite rock built on a plateau in the center of Tinos island. The “lunar” landscape of the village is unique. The origin of the phenomenon of the landscape of Volax stimulated the imagination of residents and also, of scientists. Regardless of how the massive, rotund, often animal-shaped granite rocks were created, the truth is that it offers one of the most impressive and imposing sight you have ever met before.
The wines of Tinos Island in Greece have a very rich history and heritage. The first signs of viticulture were noticed here as early as 4000BC. By 1768, the island was home to producing at least 20 different types of wines. As of 2019, there are over 13 hectares of privately-owned vineyards in this number. We visit T-Oinos for a premium wine tasting, a small wine state located right on top of a rock in the Tinos island. They have been making complex and rare wines till today.
Time to visit one of the forty traditional villages for a mouthwatering and authentic Greek lunch. After lunch we head back to your yacht and we visit some of the most untouched beaches of Tinos for swim and snorkeling.
When you are ready, we go back to refresh and hit Tinos town for an evening stroll and dinner.
DAY 3
We head to our next destination, an absolute must visit and probably the most cosmopolitan place in Greece: Mykonos! Luckily, you have your own private yacht so we can avoid the peak season road traffic and enjoy the most sought-after beaches of the island for a jet-set beach day and maybe some celebrity spotting.
