Panormos or Pyrgosis the biggest village of the island of Tinos and one of the greenest in Cyclades complex. The village’s long course in marble sculpture is mirrored in its wide use in the domestic and public constructions. Pyrgos is the home-town of many distinguished sculptors and of the famous painter Nikolaos Lutras. The village hosts the Fine Arts School of Marble Sculpture (founded on 1955), the Museum of Artists from Panormos and a significant number of marble workshops.

The beach of Panormos lies beneath the homonymous village. This is the old port of Tinos where the marble trading was carried out. Due to the winding conditions on the area, the beach is perfect for windsurfing. In the middle of the bay there is the small islet of Planitis which is a natural habitat for many small animals. Planitis attracts many visitors every year.

Leftwards to Panormos one can see the beach of Agias Thalassas. The beach is wind-sheltered. Rightwards to Panormos there is the sandy beach of Rochari. The beach of Rochari has a beach bar and hygiene facilities.
