Dyo Choria and Triantaros sit on the slopes of Kechrovouni at around 380 m. From the terraces you look out over Mykonos, Delos and Syros — and on clear days Paros, Naxos and Kythnos.
This is the authentic Tinos: plane-tree squares, spring-fed fountains, marble alleys. No two Magna Lux houses are alike — each one was freshly renovated with the island's own stone, wood and light, by people who live here.
Honest note: the village lanes are stepped and beautiful — pack light, and a car is recommended.

"George is a very friendly and nice person. He helped us in everything we needed."
"We had a wonderful stay — freshly renovated, very stylish and absolutely clean."
"Every detail has been thoughtfully considered… the host was incredibly welcoming."
"Greek born and raised in multicultural environments — I love sharing the ingredients of a perfect Greek summer."
Greek, raised between cultures, and devoted to one island. With family and friends in Dyo Choria and Triantaros, Georgios renovated these village houses one by one — stone, wood and light — so guests could live Tinos the way locals do: authentically, not as a resort.

Yes — our houses are pet-friendly. Let us know in advance so we can prepare.
Light! The village lanes are stepped marble — beautiful, but not suitcase-wheel friendly. We'll help with luggage on arrival if needed.
Village tavernas and cafés within a two-minute walk, marble-paved alleys, hiking paths, and the beaches of the south coast a short drive away. From the terraces you'll see Mykonos, Delos, Syros — and on clear days Paros and Naxos.
We will point you to trusted drivers and car rental, and guide you through self check-in with the lockbox — flexible hours when the calendar allows.
