Pyrgos village is located at Santorini’s highest altitude, approximately 1500 feet above sea level. From Pyrgos, views extend to the green valleys and wine vineyards, the caldera and volcanic rock, and the ocean beyond.
Classic Cycladic homes painted white with blue details, narrow alleys and winding streets make this charming town a worthy destination. Visit the nearby monastery of Profitis Ilias.
Inside the monastery is a museum of Greek icons and ecclesiastic artifacts. Among Santorini’s five castles is the Venetian Kasteli, flanked by three historical churches, one of which, Koimisis of Theotokou, is thought to be the oldest on the island. Enjoy art galleries, small shops, restaurants and cafes, or tour a nearby winery.
