The Municipality of Tinos curates cultural events throughout the year, with its main summer festival spanning concerts, theatre, exhibitions, and traditional celebrations across the island.

Our contribution added a new layer: reframing Tinos for a younger audience, while staying rooted in local culture and community.

Design a two-day experience that would:

• Attract young people without excluding older generations

• Bring locals and visitors together in one shared setting

• Activate a real village as the festival stage

• Reveal the hidden culture of Tinos through play, stories, and discovery

A cultural treasure hunt - immersive, social, and deeply local.

We created Holy Tinos Festival : a destination-marketing experience set in Tripotamos Village.

Discover the unexpected holy side of Tinos.A story beyond the church , lived through people, place, music, and memory.

The experience unfolded as a living labyrinth:

• Guided walks, live music, and a communal lunch in the vineyards

• An interactive escape-room game hidden in village basements with Athens Clue team.

• A digital audio tour by Clio Muse app, narrated through local stories and traditions

• Surprise performances throughout the maze: violinists on rooftops, courtyards, and steps

• Flamenco concert with Sevillian dancer Adolfo Vega

• Island party with songs of the sea

• Night screening dedicated to Cornelius Castoriadis, who chose to live in the village, accompanied by jazz

• A traditional Tinian fairytale shared with young and old alike

The village became the stage.
The locals became the storytellers.
