Situated about 3km from the main village, Kimolos Port is found on the most southwestern island of the Cyclades Island group. With just under 1000 people, Kimolos is very small and is generally occupied by tourists, especially during the summer months, creating a lively atmosphere around the island. During the winter months the island is known to be particularly quiet, the only jobs available tend to be in hospitality, such as hotel concierges and restaurant staff. Considering the small size, the island still hosts a few attractions; a medieval castle, water spas and museums are all well worth a visit. The port itself is primarily used for connecting passengers to other islands of the Cyclades group, most of which are in relatively close proximity to each other. Hellenic Seaways and Zante Ferries provide the crossings, both of which are respected and reliable companies that are convenient for visitors to travel stress free. Whilst at the port, visitors can sample the local food at the café sitting right next to the ferry terminal. For travel to the port, a small bus service operates in the area, running to and from the port and travelling to popular beaches and resorts on the island.
Tinos is one of the biggest of the Cyclades Island’s in Greece. Tinos is famous amongst Greeks for the Church of Panagia Evangelistria, its numerous windmills, artistic dovecotes, numerous villages and its Venetian fortifications at the mountain, Exobourgo. Tinos is located near the geographical centre of the Cyclades island group, and because of the Panagia Evangelistria church, with its icon of Virgin Mary, Tinos is also the centre of a yearly pilgrimage that takes place on the date of the dormition of the Virgin Mary. This is perhaps the most notable and still active yearly pilgrimage in the region of the eastern Mediterranean. Many pilgrims make their way the 800 metres from the ferry wharf to the church on their hands and knees as sign of devotion.
