The underrated Greek island filled with pretty beaches without the Santorini crowds

A beautiful evening on Tinos Island (Image: Getty) Brits love to visit the Greek islands , and Santorini is one of the most popular of them all. It's understandable why so many want to visit the picturesque destination. But it's recently started to suffer from overtourism .

Each year 3.4million tourists descend onto the sunny island, where the population is a mere 25,000. This huge influx of visitors has contributed to environmental damage and water shortages in the region.

Many lesser-known Greek islands don’t include the crowds, and one of them is Tinos. Tinos is the ideal holiday for nature lovers and those interested in architecture, art, and even gastronomy. It's the home of many famous Greek marble carving artists such as Gyzis, Lytras, Chalepas, Filippotis and Sochos.

As always with Greece, there are plenty of gorgeous beaches, as well as lots of pretty villages to explore. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
