Exomvourgo
In the middle of Tinos island rises up a big rock you can see even from the ferry. This is the rock of Exomvourgo (also Exombourgo), with ruins of a castle and ancient town which once existed there.
There is not much left of the ancient town except for parts of walls but the view from the top of the rock is amazing - you can see Tinos from above and the adjacent islands of Mykonos and Syros. The trail to the top starts from the parking lot which is next to the Catholic church below Exomvourgo. It takes less than 10 minutes to reach the top, the trail is short but steep and proper shoes are recommended.
Exomvourgo is also a climbing area. A climbing route with a length of 1000 meters encircles the hills and it is known as the longest Via ferrata of the Cyclades islands, suitable for beginners as well.
