Nasz mały raj na Cykladach/Our small paradise on Cycladic Islands


Jak już wspominałam w poprzednim poście, kilka lat temu odwiedziliśmy piękną, choć mało turystycznie rozreklamowaną wyspę Tinos, należącą do archipelagu Wysp Cykladzkich.

As I have mentioned in the previous post, a few years ago we visited a pretty but not very well advertised island, called Tinos, belonging to the Cycladic archipelago.



Na razie na wyspie nie ma lotniska, co wpływa na jej spokojny charakter.

So far there is no airport at the island which also has influence on its peaceful character.


Można powiedzieć, że to raj w miniaturze. Mało turystów, dużo Greków, którzy przypływają tu na jednodniowe pielgrzymki do stolicy wyspy, do świątyni Panagia Evangelista, znanej z cudownej ikony.

One may say that it is a small paradise. Not many tourist, a lot of Greek pilgrims who come on the island for one - day visits to the capital of the island, famous for its Panagia Evangelista Church with a miraculous icon.


Żadna grecka wyspa nie może obyć się bez wszędobylskich kotów oraz mrowia owadów.

No Greek island could do without cats and some insects.


Widok na dzwonnicę w stolicy.

Tinos znane jest też z wiatraków i artystycznie wykonanych gołębników, których jest tu podobno 1300. Specjalnością kulinarną wyspy są, a raczej pewnie były, pieczone gołębie, obecnie niedostępne w restauracyjnych menu. Najwięcej najciekawszych gołębników znajduje się w Dolinie Tarambados.

Tinos is known also from windmills and artistic pigeon houses, there are 1300 of them on the island. The specialty of the island cooking are, or rather were, baked pigeons, now unavailable in restaurants. The biggest number of the pigeon houses is located in Tarambados Valley.


Jeśli chce się zobaczyć typowo greckie widoczki, znane z pocztówek czy z albumów, Cyklady się do tego świetnie nadają.

If someone wants to see typical Greek views, known from postcards or albums, Cycladic Islands are perfect for that.


Port w Panormos jest wyjątkowo spokojnym miejscem na wyspie.
Panormos Port is an especially peaceful place on the island.


Miasteczko Pirgos znane jest ze Szkoły Sztuk Pięknych.
Pirgos is known from the School of Fine Arts.


Rzeźbiarzom zawdzięcza starannie wykonane marmurowe domostwa i liczne ozdoby, a nawet marmurowy cmentarz.

The town owns to the sculptures carefully made marble houses, many decorations and even a marble cemetery.

Lubię takie greckie wyspy. Mało turystów, dużo Greków, brak lotniska. Można poczuć wyspiarski klimat.

Ajka pisze...

Jak pięknie :) Ja już postanowiłam, że w 2012 muszę się na jakąś grecką wyspę wybrać, myślę nad Thassos lub Zakhyntos (bo z niej mogę wyskoczyć na mniejsze)

Shionge pisze...

What a beautiful place Ola and I think it is good not to 'advertise' otherwise, once it gets touristy..it will spoil the nature charm of this place.

I love it!!! So peaceful and nice.

Bob Bushell pisze...

You're always on holidays, a lovely experience. Nice photos.

Another great post for a Greek magical place!

What beautiful photographs of a gorgeous island. It has been many years (too many years sadly) that I have travelled the Cyclades. I spent a few weeks on an island called Ios, this was long before it was ruined with hotels and an airport. You are right, the best islands are those without an airport!
