Another gem of Santorini, Pyrgos, offers a quieter and more traditional alternative to Oia.
This hilltop village, crowned by a medieval fortress, is a labyrinth of cobblestone alleys and charming Cycladic architecture. The panoramic vistas from Pyrgos are equally stunning, providing a serene setting to enjoy a leisurely afternoon stroll. Don’t forget to sample local wines in one of the many family-run wineries dotting the village.
Italy, a country renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and cultural treasures, is not limited to the well-trodden paths of popular tourist destinations. Beyond the bustling cities and iconic landmarks, there exist hidden gems—serene, lesser-known places that captivate with their beauty and authenticity.
