Tip of the iceberg...
“The Virgo Supercluster (Virgo SC) or the Local Supercluster (LSC or LS) is a mass concentration of galaxies that contains the Virgo Cluster in addition to the Local Group, which in turn contains the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxies.
At least 100 galaxy groups and clusters are located within its diameter of 33 megaparsecs (110 million light-years). It is one of millions of superclusters in the observable universe.
A 2014 study indicates that the Virgo Supercluster is only a lobe of a greater supercluster, Laniakea, which is centered on the Great Attractor.[2]”

The Virgo Cluster (on the right in graphic, with its "Well over a thousand galaxies") is only part of the much larger Virgo SUPER Cluster pf galaxies. Our Milky Way Galaxy lies in the Local Group (denoted in red in center).
And, not by a long shot, does it end there.
