Panormos port

Located in a natural bay, Panormos was a crucial seafaring spot, the only harbour in the north of Tinos. Today it is a charming fishing village, with many cozy restaurants and cafes along its beautiful esplanade.

Panormos is a charming fishing village in the north of Tinos and the seaport of nearby Pyrgos. Located in a natural bay, Panormos was a significant seafaring spot, being the only harbour in the north of Tinos. A small islet called Planitis (Planet) is almost adjacent to the bay at its northern tip and forms a narrow with the open Aegean sea. An old stone lighthouse, almost 10 meters tall, was constructed here in 1886 and emitted its valuable signal towards seafarers in the North Cyclades.

Today Panormos is a safe port for small fishing boats and cruising yachts, and the village enjoys a rather busy touristic season due to the nearby beautiful beaches and picturesque seaside tavernas and cafes.
