The location of Kosta's place is quiet yet relatively close to the Chora and with good road-access to many wonderful beaches. Kosta's parents, who live in the level below are friendly and helpful with tips and advice for getting around the island and Maria's treats gave our visit a special warm touch. The apartment itself was spotless and seemed freshly refurbished. Tinos is for people who love the wind, especially in August, but the place has protected nooks, including a veranda shared with the other property they rent out. We had a great time with children and teenagers.
