Volax, Tinos

Volax or Volakas is a small village on the island of Tinos, in the Cyclades, Greece. Its unique surrounding of big round rocks gives the whole landscape a lunar appearance. It was established in the 14th-century or older. It lies on a little plateau in the centre of Tinos in an average altitude of 284m above sea level. The big round rocks of plutonic origin that encircle it, create an appearance that seduces the tourists with its peculiarity. Many houses are built above these rocks and near each other according to the rules of the traditional Cycladic architecture. It has always been a home of basket knitters. Today it is a tourists’ destination. In the spring also, it is a lovely destination for many paintball sport teams. But essentially, it is and it has always been a place where groups of travelers come to discover its old paths and unique morphology. A part of its alternative places to see are also a small Folklore Museum which is opened to the crowd during the summer period and a 380-seat amphitheatre where many musical and theatrical performances take place.
