Ελληνικά The phrase “wild beauty” suits perfectly to this isolated bay in Pano Meri, with the black sand, fine cobblestone and transparent sea that gets suddenly deep. Those who will choose to traverse the 6km from Steni and drive in dirt road, they will be compensated by the time they have a look at the sculptural, peculiar rocks on the left and the “angry” waves during the etesian winds.
In every sense… Remote, peaceful and of low profile character, it is recommended if you despise of the crowds but it would not be a great idea if you cannot tolerate the etesian winds. With the impressive, golden dunes to remind you of a desert, with rocks sculptured by the brine and blue waters that lick the coast, you cannot but love it. 10km away from Chora.
A secret for the few and very best; it is near Steni at the eastern part of Tinos. As for umbrellas or deck-chairs, these are out of discussion!

Basically it is separated in two; on the one hand there is the largest part which is hit by the northern wind and is quite peaceful and on the other hand, there is the smaller but protected from the winds bay with the semolina sand and jade green waters which is first in preference. We also give an A for the amenities given that there are deck-chairs, umbrellas, taverns and beach bars.
“Godfather” of the rather leeward large sandy shore at the southern part of Tinos (11km away from Chora) was the chapel of the left side of the bay. Nature has endowed the beloved of the Tinians with shady trees, crystal clear, emerald waters and unobstructed sight of Syros.
Untouched by the massive tourism, the neighbor of Aghios Romanos at Kato Meri is in good terms with the loners and those who do not hesitate to pass a mini-odyssey in order to reach this exotic place.
