4-day Tinos Island Walking Holiday

In the morning you take a ferry from Piraeus, Rafina or other island that connects with Tinos and arrive in the port of Tinos. A taxi takes you to the village Falatados in the inner land. It is definitely worthwhile to spend some time exploring the narrow alleys in Falatados and discover this very traditional village in your own way.
Time permitted you can make a round walk from Falatados. Via a kalderimi you walk to the village Myrsini and descend to the (dry) river bed of the Livada river. You can opt to return from here via another kalderimi back to Falatados and enjoy some free time or you may continue to Livada beach and return partly via the same route.
