Triantaros, which has existed since the 11^th century, is located at a distance of 7km from the Chora of Tinos. This is a wonderfully lively village that has kept well preserved its traditional elements and local architecture, with its narrow alleyways, step-streets and archways. In the surrounding areas, wind- and watermills used to function, which gradually were either abandoned or were converted into homes. On the lower square of the village, part of an old oil-mill is preserved. An outstanding feature of the village is the breathtaking view over the Aegean and the Cyclades islands. Triantaros is renowned for its highly skilled builders and is today regarded as one of the cosmopolitan villages of Tinos and of the Cyclades, since a large number of its houses have been purchased and renovated by high-profile Athenian and foreign buyers.
