Pyrgos is a charming hilltop village rich in history and character.
Located in the center of the island, Pyrgos was once Santorini’s capital and remains one of its most authentic settlements. Its maze-like alleys, whitewashed houses, and blue-domed churches lead up to the ruins of a medieval castle at the summit. From there, you can enjoy breathtaking 360-degree views of the island. Pyrgos is also known for its local wine, nearby vineyards, and Easter celebrations, making it a cultural and scenic highlight for any Santorini itinerary.
