7Pyrgos, Santorini

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.
