The 360° Pictorial Guide of the Cyclades

We have not yet created big panoramic projects in Tinos... but we are thinking about it!

One day or another, we shall go again and shoot panoramas in its many picturesque villages...

For now, we show you a 360° tour of the Panagia Evangelistria of Chora (Our Lady of Tinos), important place of pilgrimage of the Orthodox Church, shot during a brief passage in spring 2019.

During spring 2016, we also shot some panoramas at the fascinating Museum of Marble Crafts in Pyrgos, on a cloudy day and with a lower resolution camera.

Port and capital of Tinos, Chora is the city of the Basilica Panaghia Evangelistria, one of the most important places of pilgrimage of Greece. The city is not a Cycladic village but, with its lively seafront, it has a lot of urban charm. It's an ideal place to stay if you wish to visit the island.

The Museum of Marble Crafts, in Pyrghos, is devoted to everything related to this wonderful metamorphic rock, from its extraction to its sculpture, for art or craft. All the marbles are reviewed, from the white marble of the ancient statues to the black marble, along the yellow, the green, the pink, the red, the blue... Didactic and exciting!

Our Lady of Tinos is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Greece, comparable to Lourdes in France or Fatima in Portugal. The sanctuary was built of marble partially "borrowed" from Delos, following the discovery of an icon deemed miraculous, which appeared in a dream to a nun in Kechrovouni Monastery.
