Pyrgos is the Medieval Santorini. The Venetian Kasteli is one of the five castle-states built by the Venetians in the 15th century.
The special architecture of the village with its stone houses and the arches gives a different dimension to the island. Pyrgos has become world famous for its devout and unique Easter celebration! Here are the Byzantine Museum, the Folklore Museum of Yannis Chryssos
(tel: 22860-31101) and the historical Monastery of Profitis Ilias, from where you can have a spectacular panoramic view of Santorini and the neighboring islands.

Franco’s Café
It has been one of the “hot issues” this year on the island. In fact, the founder of the legendary Franco’s Bar in Fira has transferred his concept to this café in Pyrgos. Don’t miss the tartes that are prepared right before your eyes and the chocolate fondue, always under the sound of atmospheric music.
