Panaya of Tinos

Tinos is considered to be the capital of Religious Tourism in Greece. Situated upon the hill of Chora, the Church of Evaggelistria welcomes numerous visitors every year. The Church was built on the site where the Icon of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary was miraculously discovered. The discovery of Her Holy Icon coincided with the very first days of the establishment of the Modern Greek State. The Church is actually a monastery complex, consisting of churches, museums, exhibition galleries, and guest rooms.
