Tino is the second biggest island off the Gulf of Poets. The northern most part of the island preserves the 11th century ruins of the abbey of San Venerio, the patron saint of the Spezian Gulf. It was built by the Benedictines in honour of the saint, who was born on the island of Palmaria and who died a hermit on the island of Tino in 630.
The western part of the island is formed by a sheer cliff face, which is completely inaccessible, whereas the northern side of the island slopes gradually down towards the sea, and is covered in holm-oak trees and a rich flora made up of sea fennel, groundsel, euphorbia, poppies, knapweed, fig trees, red valerian and rue. Among the herbs grown on the island are rosemary, thyme and myrtle.
Tino is a military zone and is only open to the public on the 13th of September and the following Sunday, when the island hosts a local festival. A lighthouse takes pride of place on the highest point of the island.
