Tinos
Exombourgho

This huge rock, which rises to an altitude of 641 m, is not the highest mountain in Tinos (Mount Tsiknias, east of the island, is 727 m high), but it dominates the whole hinterland. In the Middle Ages was built a fortress deemed impregnable, which walls protected a large city. Everything was destroyed by the Ottomans in the early 18th century and today the rock is a paradise for rock climbing, with several routes.
