Unlike the more touristy areas, Pyrgos offers an authentic, laid-back atmosphere where you can enjoy the traditional charm of the island.
Pyrgos is located on one of the highest points of Santorini, giving visitors panoramic views of the island, the caldera, and the sparkling blue waters of the Aegean Sea. Pyrgos has a rich history, with remnants of Venetian-era architecture and an impressive castle that dates back to the 15th century.
 If you’re looking for a quiet, less crowded part of Santorini to relax and unwind, Pyrgos offers a calm environment away from the hustle and bustle of the island’s more tourist-heavy areas. Wander through the narrow, winding streets, discover charming whitewashed houses, and visit the village’s beautiful churches.
