Churches and Religious Culture on Tinos

While you explore the island and admire its many churches, both large and small, you might be interested to take a look inside and take some photographs of the beautiful interiors.

Most of the large village churches are open to the public. If there is a caretaker on the premises, be sure to ask if it’s permitted to take photos before clicking away. Some churches permit photographs, but not with a flash. And some might not allow any photo to be taken under any circumstances.

You will most likely find that very small churches (many belonging to private families) are locked and shuttered. You can always ask around locally if someone has a key and wouldn’t mind allowing you access.

Also, while you’re visiting the island, you may wish to attend church services. You can do this at both the Orthodox and Catholic churches in Tinos Town. The Church of the Panagia (Orthodox) offers a daily liturgy at 07:15, and conducts evening prayers at 17:30.

The Catholic Church of St. Nicholas (Ag. Nikolaos), also right in town, has a Mass scheduled every Saturday at 20:00, and every Sunday at 10:00. Masses on feast days will be celebrated at either St. Nicholas, or at the Church of St. Anthony, in the Pallada area of Tinos Town.
