On Tinos, days start slowly and end with the sun going down over the sea. In between come the beach and a long lunch. Here are the places where we like to begin and end the day.
Breakfast and brunch
Krok Monsieur, Krokos
In our own village, an all-day bistro whose name plays on the brunch classic and on Krokos itself. Good coffee, fresh juices and a kitchen that takes brunch seriously. The easiest first stop from AESIS.
Triantaraki, Triantaros
A traditional kafeneio with a modern touch, in a lane of Triantaros village. Colourful chairs on the stone steps, a terrace looking down to the port, breakfast, desserts, and Greek craft beers and wines for later in the day.
Myrtilo, Tinos town
An all-day bistro in the narrow lanes of town. Omelettes, pancakes and yoghurt bowls in the morning, cocktails and dinner at night.
Petrino, Dio Choria
Breakfast in the village of Dio Choria, a good start before a slow walk through its lanes.
Mikro Kafe, Tinos town
A small café in town for a slow coffee.
Sunset and cocktails
Mayou, Isternia
High up in the marble village of Isternia, in a 200-year-old house with a terrace over the sea. Breakfast and light lunch by day, cocktails until late, and one of the best sunsets on the island. Our favourite for atmosphere, morning or evening.
Santiago, Tinos town
For a cocktail in town after dinner.
Sunset Bar, Kardiani
As the name promises: a drink in Kardiani while the sun drops behind the sea.
OMMA, near Tinos town
Cocktails made with local ingredients and a wide view at sunset, a few minutes from town.

Questions we often hear
Where is the best brunch in Tinos? Krok Monsieur, in Krokos.
Where can I watch the sunset with a drink? Mayou in Isternia, Sunset Bar in Kardiani and OMMA near town.
Is there nightlife on Tinos? Tinos is calm rather than clubby. Evenings mean a long dinner, then a cocktail at Santiago and the bars around it in town. After midnight, the night goes on at Kaktos and OMMA.
