Seahorse shaped Tilos rises majestically out of the sparkling azure blue waters of the Aegean Sea with its magnificent beaches surrounded by rugged mountains that boast of rushing clear water underground springs that nourish the trees and flowers which grace its beautiful countryside.

As long ago as 350 BC, the gifted poet Irinna was born on Tilos and at an early age became inspired by the rich and diverse natural beauty of our island and the surrounding Aegean Sea. From recorded history, Tilos has been gifted with swiftly passing clouds bathed in shades of pastel colors heralding the dawn and passing of each memorable day, the quiet lapping of the waves on the sun kissed shores of its beaches and the songs of birds echoing throughout the naturally fertile valleys perfumed by the fragrance of fruit tree blossoms. Within the peaceful embrace of this tranquil island and nurtured by its cornucopia of gifts freely offered to each of the senses, Irinna through her poetry passed on to us the most noble of human values that have endured through the sands of time.

Our Parea* (forum) welcomes all who have had their hearts captured by the cultural treasures of the Aegean Sea and have been spirited away in their dreams by its natural beauty.

* Parea: (Gr.) A Parea in Greek culture is a group of friends who regularly gather together to share their experiences about life, their philosophies, values and ideas. The Parea is really a venue for the growth of the human spirit, the development of friendships and the exploration of ideas to enrich our quality of life that is all too brief in time. In Greece, the Parea is a long-lasting circle and cycle of life nourished by the people who participate.
