What you'll see & do
- ✓Pyrgos casteli (45 minutes)Pyrgos was built on the top of a hill and was until the early 1800, the capital of the island. The village is composed of traditional houses built around the Venetian Castle and the small streets follow the shape of the hill. Climbing from the square up to the castle of Pyrgos, the stone houses crowd more densely together and the labyrinth of narrow vaulted lanes becomes more tortuous. The village has many churches, around 33, but the most famous is the Monastery of Profitis Ilias, where a small collection of ethnographic material and old icons are exhibits. Pyrgos is a place that certainly worth a visit and dedicate enough time to the most fabulous panoramic view of the island.
- ✓Profitis Ilias (30 minutes)The highest spot of the island (567 meters) is located between Pyrgos and Kamari. The Mountain's name is Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elijah), coming from the Monastery with the same name on its peak. From this vantage point, you will enjoy a striking view of the entire island, from the patchwork agricultural plains to the hilltop village of Oia.
- ✓• Megalochori traditional village (45 minutes) with its typical traditional Cycladic houses and neoclassic buildings. It is located between Pyrgos, Emporio and Akrotiri at a distance of less than 10 km from Fira. It is made of hundreds of small white painted houses built the one upon the other and it is characterized by its beautiful churches. It combines traditional architecture with vaulted houses and calderimia (stone-cobbled narrow pathways) and a lively community with a fairly large permanent population
- ✓Emporio-traditional village - representing Cycladic authentic architecture, walking through the last standing Venetian castle, from the 15th century / old authentic complex of houses, labyrinthine narrow streets
- ✓* Akrotiri - edge of the island, beautiful viewpoint from south side/end of the island. - Archeological site / Minoan civilization - excavations / 5000 years ago ( location without walking, only inside the archeological site is necessary walking - 30 minutes minimum , flat surface, bio-climate roof, protected from the sun - inside the huge building is archaeological site/excavation)
- ✓ed Beach in Akrotiri, Santorini, is a stunning natural wonder known for its striking red-hued cliffs and unique volcanic sands. The beach is famous for its dramatic landscape, created by the iron-rich volcanic minerals. It's a popular destination for tourists seeking picturesque views and a one-of-a-kind beach experience.
