Pyrgos Village: Venetian Fortress Remains
Santorini's highest village with a Venetian castle at the peak and better views than Oia, without the crowds. The layered architecture - Byzantine, Venetian, and modern stacked on top of each other - makes the village worth exploring beyond the castle. Combine with Santo Wines five minutes below by car. Allow 60-90 minutes.
