We had a wonderful stay in Caroline's place. It has a gorgeous and peaceful view of the sea with other islands in the distance. The home feels new and luxurious with lots of room to spread out. Appliances and conveniences are generously provided, including a washing machine which was quite useful for us. Two separate terraces and the two bedrooms are quite private.
In spite of being warned by other travelers that we needed to rent a car, we did not and do not regret it at all. Swimming beaches are an easy walk down from the house. Even though the main port of Tinos is 20 minute walk away, there are taverna in the adjacent village just beyond the archaeological site, a short walk away. Access to a spectacular hiking trail, T1, is just down the road, leading through terraced hillsides to a mountain village above. You can get around on local buses from the port to all corners of the island to experience other villages and hiking trails.
We found a reliable taxi driver who drove out to take us to the ferry. I would recommend her to other guests: Taxi Tinos: Roza-Maria +30 6977 607543.
I highly recommend Caroline's place for a memorable stay on a very special Aegean island.
