Traditional village of Santorini inland which was the capital city of the island up to 1800 B.C.
The medieval element is prominent here as there are narrow streets with arches. You can feel the Venetian influence here since Pyrgos used to be one of 5 castle cities established by the Venetians.
In the top of the mountain of Pyrgos there is the Monastery of Profitis Ilias. As it is the biggest mountain of Santorini it has a unique view and you can see the entire island around.
