Roman Catholic Diocese of Tinos and Mykonos


The Roman Catholic Diocese of Tinos (and Mykonos) was a Latin suffragan diocese on some of the Aegean islands of Greece.

The diocese was established around 900 AD as the Diocese of Tinos. It was renamed in 1400 to the Diocese of Tinos–Mykonos, including the island Mykonos in its title.

In 1824 it gained territory from the suppressed Roman Catholic Diocese of Andros, but did not change its name to include this title.

The diocese was finally suppressed on 3 June 1919, when its territory and titles, even that of Andros, were included in the newly renamed Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Naxos, Andros, Tinos and Mykonos (formerly the Archdiocese of Naxos).
