    WINDMILLS

A photographic journey in Chora

Little Venice, Panagia Paraportiani, and Windmills are the three stops where the camera will really go crazy. These are the most picturesque places in the country and appear in the international media, so they cannot be missing from your album. The route starts from the small beach of Chora and continues along the coastal pedestrian street, passing by the little church of Agios Nikolaos. First, you will meet the much-photographed Panagia Paraportiani, then Little Venice with the cafés and the houses hanging above the sea, and you will admire the historic windmills.

    THE ARMENISTIS LIGHTHOUSE

The Armenistis Lighthouse

The Armenistis Lighthouse, located at a surveillance point in the homonymous area of Fanari on a hill, was formerly called Vourvoulakas; that is a vampire. It is an extremely remarkable monument of naval history and stands proudly on the hill’s edge overlooking Tinos. Its construction is connected with the sinking of the English steamer VOLTA [1887] at the Tinos-Mykonos crossing, where the 11 members of the crew drowned when it hit a rock due to dense fog. After the accident, it was deemed necessary to illuminate the passage; so, the lighthouse was built. It was equipped with the most modern mechanism of its time, ensuring a safe passage from 1891 to 1983. It is a magical place from where you will enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets of your life.
