Holy Church of the Virgin Mary Evangelistria at Tinos

Attracting thousands and thousands of people every year this church has been standing as the beacon of religion for many years among the believers. Truly an exceptional feeling visiting it, one that you definitely should not miss upon visiting the island. Many believers can be seen crossing the road on their knees moving uphill towards the church, an act of courage and importance among many, and one we should all admire!

My mother waited 50 years to come here. Today we made her dream come true. An amazing place for Greek Orthodox Christians to visit once in their lifetimes. We saw a number of pilgrims entering the church on their knees - we were absolutely gobsmacked to realise they started this from the port nearly a kilometre away! Visiting again tomorrow.

A sacred landmark and Greece’s most important pilgrimage site, the Church of Panagia Evangelistria in Tinos inspires awe with its stunning neoclassical beauty and spiritual power. Thousands visit yearly to honor the miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary, believed to offer healing and hope. Whether for faith or culture, it’s a must-see experience.

Second time in this church. The first time was 1 year ago when it had a big celebration with a lot of people lining up to get into the church, so I decided to skip. This time, on a normal Saturday afternoon, there was no line and quite quiet. Strolled around and just admired its peacefulness.

Amazing place and inspiring experience whether you are religious or not, this place and the effect it leaves on the faithful is both emotional and touching. Definitely a must-see while in Tinos.

Is considered one of the more sacred places in Greece.

Incredible church with deep historical and religious meaning. Candles, crosses, pictures and other paraphernalia can be purchased outside in small stands and souvenir shops.

The most amazing church in Greece where all miracles happen. The energy when I walked inside for the first time was so pure and clean.
