We spent two pleasant weeks in Julia´s house in Agios Sostis, a 5min ride from the town centre of Tinos. This house is built in the typical cycladic style on a slightly hilly terrain with terrasses all over the site. All of the three patios offer a marvellous view to the sea. At nights the island of Mykonos , which is just opposite, represents itself in a rather pituresque way, as you see the millions of lights flashing on the island.
The house is decorated in a traditional style, with stone floors, a fully equipped kitchen (microwave oven, freezer), modern wooden doors, high quality furniture and nice pieces of art on the walls. It is divided into two floors: the ground floor consists of a spacious living room, a kitchen, a small storage room with a washing maschine, one bedroom and a bathroom with a shower. The large, comfortable veranda gives you access to the whole house. On the 1st floor there is a second bathroom and there are other two bedrooms, each equipped with its own patio. So this place is ideal for 6 people and you can be sure there is still enough privacy for everyone.
It takes you around 3 min to reach the splendid, sandy beach of Agios Sostis. If you like windsurfing, this is probably the best spot of the island as winds get really strong there. Since the beach is a streched sandy, bay, you are rather safe. Right down from Julia´s house there´s a pebbly tiny little beach which offers an ideal place for snorkelling.
Our hosts generosity and their politeness were remarkable and made all the difference in our stay. We also were invited to a delicious greek barbecue where we meet some of the other family members as well.
We were lucky to have found this place (and Julias´s family) and we recommend this lovely house to anyone wishing to enjoy the atmosphere of this very beautiful island.
