Hello Jetsetter, Thank you for your review of the Hotel Poseidonio. Haven't been to Tinos since I took my parents there in 1998, but I am planning to return next year or two. Am surprised that the Hotel Poseidonio is getting great reviews; it was listed as "D-class" back then, and is in the middle of the chora (main village) that we thought would be noisy, so we didn't stay there. It must have been renovated. The ferry from Piraeus docked right in front, so perhaps that changed, too. My Mother's parents were from Tinos and my Grandfather's family owned the Poseidonio. They immigrated to California, USA in about the 1920's. We had no contacts on the island. I only knew that the family had owned the Poseidonian and that it was still there. We ended up staying at a wonderful hotel outside of the main village that, ironically, was owned by a distant cousin who introduced us to other cousins who still owned the Poseidonio. It's a Greek cliche, but it seemed that everyone on Tinos was a cousin! I joked to my Mom how lucky I felt that the grandparents left the island for genetic diversity. Truly fun and poignant experience. I love the Greek people and regret not learning the language. Again, thanks for your review. This time, I think I'll stay at the Poseidonio when I visit Tinos. Cheers, Christos V. P.S. My grandparents ran a motel off of a highway in a small town in California. It was surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, but lacked the charm of Greece.

I'm reading there is a bus stop that lets you go to other islands...does this take you to Santorini?
