The proliferation of swimming pools has put a serious strain on water supply on Cycladic islands like Sifnos and Tinos, and the aggressive expansion of seaside bars over pristine beaches on many islands has generated a backlash from locals.

Tinos, a Greek island, is beautiful — and extraordinarily windy.

The Greek island of Tinos is said to be the birthplace of Aeolus, the Greek god who managed the violent storm winds, and was known in antiquity as the “island of the winds.”

“We hoped Tinos would refresh us, that its restaurants would replenish us, that the rugged landscape would leave us blown away,” he writes.

Many come from other parts of Greece, choosing Tinos for its quieter, more secluded, and foodie-friendly reputation.
