A wonderful route that will initially lead you to Triantaros, where the view<br />

from the altitude of 500 metres to the Aegean Sea is breathtaking. The old<br />

municipal laundries of the villages are used up to the present day! Arnados<br />

is a small,charming village with traditional arches and alleys.<br />

and historical objects, and a library with rare books, while the Museum<br />

of Tinos Artists exhibits great works of artists born on the island<br />

(Halepas, Lytras, Gyzis, etc). Near the church entrance is a monument<br />

dedicated to the crew of the ship “Elli”, which was torpedoed in 1940 in<br />

the port of Tinos.<br />

Near the church dedicated to Virgin Mary, at Poles, are visible the citadel<br />
