Tinos Island Village

The Greek Island of Tinos, located in the Aegean Sea, is the third largest island of the Cyclades group. The Phoenicians are believed to be the first people to live on the island during ancient times, followed by the Ionians somewhere around the 11th century BC. Over the next several centuries, the island would again change hands: the Eretrians, the Persians, the Egyptian Ptolemies, and, eventually, the Roman Empire all staked their claims at various times. Tinos didn’t find stability until the Venetian rulers in the 1200s AD were able to repel Turkish attackers and retain control of the island. In 1830, Tinos became part of modern Greece.
