Hello this is Alice from Greece, the real Wonderland! I am a Theta Healer , a Yoga Instructor and a Face Yoga teacher but I also do Art Therapy. I am half French and as a result billingual. It is an honour for me to be a guide in such an amazing place like TInos and I feel really grateful. Being a person who respects nature I love recycling, respect all nature's creatures and I am a big fan of animals. In my free time I like to draw, practicing alternative methods and reading books. I really enjoy the company of passionate travellers and living by the sea is my biggest pleasure. Before 8 years I came to Tinos for work and I felt in love with the unique energy of this place. Since then I moved here working in the tourism section and now as a guide. I really love to work with French travellers since it is my native language and they appreciate it a lot but also enjoy it!I am so happy to be a guide because TInos is a misunderstood island due to it's hidden secrets and beauties. My country is know for being such an amazing place and that's true. I really feel lucky staying in Tinos, it is a miraculus island with wonderful history, in the center on Aegean sea but also a gastronomic destination. Has 62 inhabited villages each one known for its' tradition, many fountains, secret beaches, beautiful architecture and lots of historical places. Tinos is also an artistic destination, famous all over the world for the best quality marble and it is worth mentioning that here were born not only best sculptures but also well-known painters! All travellers want to stay more days the first time they visit Tinos ! My tours are customised depending on travellers preferencies, highlights but also true beauty and history. Feel free to be enchanted by one of Greeces' best kept secrects. . . YOGA INSTRUCTOR FACE YOGA INSTRUCTOR THETA HEALING INSTRUCTOR I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments.

Overview of your Tinos tour
An amazing tour for art lovers. Quick stop at the current quarry to see where marble is born and right after directly to the Museum of Marble Arts. There you can understand how the Tinian craftsman takes from the quarry a slab of marble and works on it , you will see how he creates statues, fanlights, fountains, iconostasis, tower bells, stadiums and palaces. Walking through the cemetery of Pyrgos, actually an open-air sculpture museum , you reach Pyrgos square to have some coffee, ouzo or rakhi with sweets or "meze" (snacks). Next stop is at the Giannoulis Halepas' house, the greatest sculptor of modern Greece and at the Museum of Tinian artists which is adjacent to it. The route goes on to the workshops of the village where you will meet one of the distinguished local sculptors. While working on the marble, he will have a talk with you about the marble, the tools and the secrets of this art but you will also have the chance to admire his marble gems. Last stop traditional food at Panormos by the sea.
