One of the churches on Tinos island, Greece.
The small island of Tinos in the Aegean Sea, Greece claims to have 1000 chapels spread around the island, two-thirds the size of Malta with an area of 75 square miles. Most of these chapels belong to residents, who inherited them from their parents and grand-parents over the years. They are Greek Orthodox, Catholics and even atheists, but are very proud of their chapels. Owners are young couples or could even be elderly couples. They even celebrate certain feasts which include religious services, singing, dancing, and other festive events. By the way, Malta has 365 churches or chapels, one for each day of the calendar year.
