“Beyond my expectations ( I have gone to retreats at Kripalu and came home with great expectations that never lasted.) I have learned new lessons here~~ Transformation into an older wiser woman. Most healing of all, is being on the journey with other strong, brave, and caring woman.” Sue

The Golden Beach Hotel complex dominates in the sandy beach of Agios Fokas and is only 2 km far from Chora. Golden Beach is one of the few resorts on Tinos that are surrounded by a lush green area full of geraniums, palm trees, olive trees and bougainvilleas. It consists of four independent buildings, creating thus a small village with lovely yards, white pergolas, flower beds and comfortable verandas with view to the sea or the garden. Across the road is the Golden Beach, which has glorious antique gold sand and an epic view of the temple of Isis. This idyllic for beach walks, swimming, and every day we meet for morning

Tinos is located between Andros, Mykonos and Syros. The island fascinates with its traditional settlements, the austere architecture and the picturesque dovecotes. The impressive church of Panagia Megalochari and the countless chapels show a supreme religious faith.  The role of the great artists who have been born on the island is also important as they have left a rich cultural heritage and unique creations. Tinos is known as the Holy Island. In antiquity, Tinos was also known as Ophiussa (from ophis, Greek for snake) and Hydroessa (from hydor, Greek for water). The island of Tinos has spectacular views, no matter where you are. The steep hills that lead to the sea are either clustered with marble villages, or deserted, save for a few mountain goats wandering

Day 3- June 9, 2018 ~  Kionia Amphitrite Sacred Site Ceremony and Bonfire
IMG_3349.JPGIMG_3353 (2).JPG
"Kionia" is considered as one of the most important places of worship of the ancient Greeks, coinciding with the foundation and prosperity of the ancient "Town" of Tinos, from the 4th century BC and on. It comprises the only place in the Cyclades that is exclusively dedicated to Poseidon, the sea-god. According to archaeological sources, during ancient times, the god was worshiped equally as a doctor. Furthermore, there is documentation about an increasing adoration concerning doctors, who were considered as heroes. At the end of the 4th century BC, the successors of Alexander the Great and mainly the royal families named Antigonides and Lagides, hold the fate of the Cyclades in their hands and organize building programs, in which the Sanctuary of Poseidon in Kionia might have been included. A proof of the sanctuary´s influence might be the eight-ray star that decorates the panel of the roof of the drinking fountain, a beloved theme in Macedonia, found in the tomb of King Philip, as well.
Σπήλαιο Γαστριά
The cave of "Gastria" It is located 1 km west of "Kionia" and it is ascertained that some ceramic workshops existed here in the past. The notion is supported by the fact that the soil here is rich in clay, but also by the existence of two firing kilns found here. In addition to that, many ceramic fragments have been found in the area, due to the proximity of the Temple of Poseidon and Amphitrite, which needed ceramic pots for the pilgrim crowds. Moreover, the name "Gastria" possibly comes from the word "Glastria" (clay vessels)

Tinos island is the homeland of renowned great artists of marble carving such as Gyzis, Lytras, Chalepas, Filippotis and Sochos, who have been the last famous names to have held the baton of the island’s marble-carving tradition.
