Pyrgos
For couples and travellers who enjoy castle lanes, churches and time in a village square
Around the remains of its Kasteli, Pyrgos turns attention towards inland Santorini. Churches, houses and the main square make the village an outing in its own right. Restaurants and cafes add a reason to stay for a meal, while Profitis Ilias monastery is another point to consider in the surrounding area.
Look here if you enjoy a village start to a holiday built around island visits. Spend time among lanes and galleries, then plan separate days for the beach or Akrotiri. We would compare addresses against the square and the places you expect to return to for dinner.
Request the full road-to-door approach before choosing. For a swimming beach beside your accommodation, compare Perissa or Kamari as well.
Our tip
In Pyrgos, compare an address around the square with one in the castle lanes. Ask for the vehicle-to-door route, especially with luggage or frequent outings.
