It is just unthinkable to visit Tinos and not go to this church. It doesn’t matter if you are religious or not, or to what doctrine you believe. This is, truly, a unique spiritual place, by far the most famous church in Greece and one of the most famous in the Christian Orthodox world, mainly because of the numerous miracles attributed to the icon of Virgin Mary through the years. Every day dozens of people, mainly women, crawl up the hill on their knees as a “tama”, i.e. a promise, a sacrifice on Her name. It is also a very beautiful building with a breathtaking view of the town. Mind the fact that has a strict dress code, so no trousers or short skirts for women and only long pants for men. Tinos, in general, is considered a spiritual island and its beautiful landscape is full of small picturesque chapels.

It is a place that is very spiritual and moving! A must visit for Christians and non alike! I try to visit once a year and this year we went for a wedding and were able to combine the two. It was wonderful!

a unique place of religious worship. Visit it and listen mode and worship the miraculous image of Panagia Evangelistria. Every 15 August don't miss the litany of Panayia image

This was our first time to Tinos, and to visit this beautiful church! It was amazing to us to see people crawling up to the church on their hands and knees, and also seeing people kissing the pictures in the church. A very strong faith was among us. We had never experienced anything like this! Views from the Cathedral are also very beautiful, as is the walk up to the Cathedral. Worth the visit even if it is very busy!

We are neither religious not much into churches or museums but this was an unmatchable experience. The view to the church from the harbour is delightful Don't be put off by the tack for sale in most of the shops. The walk up the hill is enjoyable and the visit to the icon etc is well worth it even for the likes of us. Sitting in the café at the quayside and watching the faithful crawling up the hill on hands and knees is a real experience.

I was with a group of 30 but visited the church in the early morning hours (6:30) with a friend I traveled with from Athens by ferry boat (4 hours). The church is reverent, the priests and the choirmen were very soothing and relaxing to listen to. The steep climb of stairs was difficult, we did it at a slow pace and because it was so early in the morning, it was relatively cool. We lighted our candles and were very thankful to have made this trip that we had planned (a tama) for the last two years.

This was my third time to the church and it is as beautiful as ever. Very ornate and very well maintained. Be sure to visit the (free) museums that are also part of the church complex.

The place for all Greeks is consider to be a religious worship. It 's a place that every Greek has or must visit if he is religious. The place has been found after a vision that a nun had many centuries ago. I'm not going to tell you, the vision, because it is worth of visiting this place. The emotional tranquility that somebody can feel cannot be described. It's ideal to visit the church not on Sunday and not in weekends, because the place is packed with people who want to worship the icon. Be sure to visit the museums that surround the church (among the works of art of local sculptors and painters (Gyzis and Lytras) you will see the ring of Kolokotronis (Greek revolution hero), 3 Olympian winners medals, Rigas Feraios (Greek writer, political thinker, enlighter and revolutionary) true copy of 'Chart of Magna Grecia" and a vast variety of valuable (Gold and daimonds) dedications to the Mother of God.

This Catherdral of Panayia is one of the most famous Cathedrals in the world within the Orthodox Christian community! Always wanted to visit Tinos island for this only reason. It was a dream that came true! God bless!

Tinos' main attraction is the Panayia Evanyelistra Cathedral, a centro of pilgrimage for Orthodox Christians. It's very popular, attracting crowds of pilgrims, some of whom crawl to it, uphill, from the main square. If you intend going to the liturgy on Sunday, go early. Attracts thousands of pilgrims on the annual feast day (August 15th), so book your hotel well in advance (1 year) of then, or join the many sleeping outside.
