Tinos, the name for both the island and its main city, might be described as ecumenical, as it is important to the Greek Orthodox and Catholic religions. Greek pilgrims come here twice annually to pray at the church of Panagia Megalochari or Blessed Virgin Mary. The island also has 40 traditional villages, wonderful beaches and is home to many famous Greek artists, especially marble sculptors who live mostly around Pyrgos. Timos has three ports serving speed boats and ferries; villages on the island are linked by bus. The island has about 80 windmills as well as picturesque villages climbing the mountainsides.
