Church of Panagia Evangelistria
The neoclassical Church of Panagia Evangelistria is built of marble from the island's Panormos quarries. The complex lies within a pleasant courtyard flanked by cool arcades. Inside the main building the acclaimed icon of the Holy Virgin is draped with gold, silver, jewels and pearls, and is surrounded by gifts from supplicants. A hanging garden of fabulous chandeliers and lampholders fills the roof space.
Within the church complex, several museums house religious artefacts, icons and secular artworks.

To Koutouki tis Elenis
Gagou is a narrow lane that veers off from the bottom of Evangelistria. It's crammed with tavernas whose tables fill every corner. This cosy little place is one of the best and dishes up cheerful local treats such as chicken in lemon sauce, rabbit in tomato sauce, and a tasty fish soup.

Metaxy Mas
Stylish service, decor and modern Mediterranean cuisine make this one of the best restaurants on Tinos. Tasty starters such as giant beans with spinach, or the succulent cheese pie, pave the way for mains that include veal casserole or cuttlefish with spinach.

Pallada Taverna
Ever popular, and offers Greek dishes with well-prepared veal, pork and lamb specialities as well as a good selection of vegetarian dishes. Local wines from the barrel are persuasive, and the house retsina is brisk.
