The route to “Pano Meria” begins at Ktikado village. The first impression of the village is the catholic church of “Timios Stavros” (Holy Cross) with the exquisite bell tower. It is said that it’s one of the oldest all across the island, as it dominates here since the 17th century. Walking along the neat settlement, you will encounter whitewashed traditional houses, with marble lintels and sculptural ornaments, typical Tinian arches, the old fountain on the square and the orthodox church of Megalomata (or Ypapanti) with the marvelous marble entrance.
Located in a small distance from Ktikado, Chatzirados stands out for its picturesque beauty and its magnificent view to the sea. White houses with colourful flowery yards, paved alleys, a traditional coffee shop and the old church of the “Holy Trinity”, which dates back to the 15th century, reveal the grandeur of simplicity.
