Rafina is located on the Aegean sea coast about 30 km east of the centre of Athens in Attica, Greece. Though further away from Athens than neighbouring Piraeus, Rafina port is actually closer to the airport which makes it popular with international travellers passing through on their way to the Greek Islands. Rafina is the 2nd largest port in this region after Piraeus (Lavrio being the 3rd) and serves ferries to the southern part of Euboea as well as providing connections to most of the islands in the Cyclades group. With a huge number of ferry crossings in operation, services are offered by the largest of the Greek ferry companies.
Tinos is one of the biggest of the Cyclades Island’s in Greece. Tinos is famous amongst Greeks for the Church of Panagia Evangelistria, its numerous windmills, artistic dovecotes, numerous villages and its Venetian fortifications at the mountain, Exobourgo. Tinos is located near the geographical centre of the Cyclades island group, and because of the Panagia Evangelistria church, with its icon of Virgin Mary, Tinos is also the centre of a yearly pilgrimage that takes place on the date of the dormition of the Virgin Mary. This is perhaps the most notable and still active yearly pilgrimage in the region of the eastern Mediterranean. Many pilgrims make their way the 800 metres from the ferry wharf to the church on their hands and knees as sign of devotion.
