#traveldiaries I just returned from a serene getaway to Panormos on Tinos Island, and it was exactly what I needed! 🏖️ This hidden gem is a quaint fishing village with beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters. The beach here is free to access, which is perfect for a day of relaxation. I spent hours lounging by the sea, soaking up the sun, and swimming in the calm waters. One highlight was exploring the nearby traditional tavernas, where I savored some delicious fresh fish and local dishes. 🍽️ The atmosphere is so laid-back, and the locals are incredibly friendly. If you’re up for a little adventure, a short drive takes you to the charming village of Pyrgos, famous for its marble craftsmanship and stunning architecture. Panormos is the perfect spot if you're looking to escape the crowds and enjoy a slice of authentic Greek island life! #trip #Panormos #TinosIsland #GreekGetaway #HiddenGems #BeachVibes
