No shorts!

We went back a second time after being refused entry as I wasn’t wearing “pantaloons”. Well worth it. It’s a walled whitewashed village of nuns’ cottages surrounding a cluster of churches. Beautiful views across the island, charming flower shrouded terraces. All the churches were open...More

Unexpectedly Enjoyable

Recommended for a short (10 min) sightseeing stop: unique & picturesque with great views. No nuns encountered: in fact, we were the only people there.

An imposing establishment

I visited the monastery with lots of friends. Reverence and respect was a common feeling amongst my co travellers, until I got a glimpse of the inside of one nun's cell. She saw me and she was disturbed. She lives in sheer luxury, antique furniture...More

A spiritual experience

This is a must see in Tinos. If it weren't for Aghia Pelagia, the icon of Panagia would not have bee unearthed. The monastery is beautiful but very windy. I enjoyed walking around though and exploring the church, the grounds, the room where Aghia Pelagia...More

Very nice

Don't miss to explore the story of saint Pelagia especially if you are in Tinos on 23 of July. Take the bus to go to the monastery

pretty but don't miss the bus back

If you're coming with the bus from tinos, it will probably arrive around 11h then back to tinos at 11h30. It's enough.. it really is enough to visit the monasetry. Maybe we were there in the wrong season (winter) but everything was closed. It's pretty...More

This monastery sits about 6 kms outside of Tinos Town. I occupies a scenic spot at the top of a hill. The monastery consists of a cloister of building in which sometimes you get a glimpse of a nun. We heard the chapels can be...More
