For stunning island panoramas and scenic local beauty, all roads lead to Pyrgos, the hillside gem of Santorini that was declared a protected settlement in 1995. At Pyrgos, you can stroll through the ruins of the Kasteli, admire the island’s traditional architecture and its neo-classical mansions, visit its local galleries and museums, as well as the village’s 56 churches, and make a stop at the main square to breathe in the incredible atmosphere of this Santorinian jewel.
