As anyone visiting Tinos will soon become aware, the dovecote (or peristeronas) is an integral part of the island's history and identity, and Sokratis-Nikos' place gives you the opportunity to live this from the inside. You won't get a more unique and genuine experience of the island than this, all at a very affordable price. Sokratis-Nikos is also the perfect host - gracious, welcoming, and sensitive to every need you may have as a visitor. While the dovecote has been renovated to retain all of the key features of its original design, it has also been transformed into an extremely comfortable place to stay. The downstairs 'living room' is cosily cave-like, the kitchen and bathroom fully equipped, and the upstairs bedroom (reached by a sturdy ladder) contains a comfortable bed, ample space for your things, and a small balcony from which you can view at close hand the folk art of the dovecote's stone-embroidered design. Below this, the large comfortable patio is the perfect space to spend a morning or evening gazing out into the mountain valley, whether your eyes stray upwards towards the traditional village just above you or downwards towards the glittering expanses of the Aegean. I can't praise Sokratis-Nikos' pigeon house enough - it was definitely the best and most original Airbnb experience I have had.
