A castle traditional village of Pyrgos is rather a well-known place for tourists. From the top of the hill where it is located you can observe a half of Santorini as well as never ending vineyards. Lots of stairs lead to imposing white churches and the old houses stand one on the top of the other boarding with tiny souvenir shops and taverns.

A long, black, pebble and sandy beach is stretching out in the sunrise side of the island.

Santorini is hiding many mysteries. One of them is a “Moonscape” beach, a virgin spot in the south of the island, not far from a small but comfortable marine. The farther you go, the more impressive rocks appear aside the beach to turn the landscape into something resembling another planet. No wonder it is preferred by many nudists and nature lovers.

Another ancient town is waiting for you to discover its former glory right on the top of the mountain. If you are into history, you’d better visit the place.
