Kardiani is built on a verdant slope about 15km northwest of the main port. The verdure-covered area full of huge plane trees, quite an uncommon sight for a Cycladic island, bears testament to the abundance of water in the region. Indeed, drinking water springs are found everywhere, even inside the village’s houses. The green surroundings along with the chill breeze have long deemed Kardiani as the village with the healthiest climate on the island.
Kardiani is also a charming settlement with delicately paved narrow alleys, numerous carved arches and traditional whitewashed beautiful houses. The finesse of Tinian marble sculpting is evident here as well, and visitors will admire statues and engraves on public spaces and buildings. Streams flow through the village and fill numerous springs with fresh drinking water; an ideal stop during cycling or hiking trips. The mix of exquisite natural beauty and exemplary architecture witnessed in Kardiani, make this village truly stand out as one of the prettiest on the whole island.
