Pyrgos

Pyrgos lies 22.5 kms northwest of Chora (Tinos Town) and 3 kms from the port of Panormos. It is one of the oldest, largest and most important villages of Tinos and the birthplace of such famous Greek artists as Halepas, Lytras, Filippotis, Gaitis, Glynis and others. The marble-paved alleys, the Museum of the Artists of Panormos, the School of Fine Arts, the new Museum of Marble Crafts, the old stone mills, the highly original door lintels, the village cemetery with its magnificent sculptures, the permanent art exhibitions of sculptures and marble carving, the picturesque village square with its century-old plane tree are just a few of the engaging attractions of beautiful Pyrgos. In the summer months, Pyrgos becomes a venue for important cultural events. Although the village does not have a sea view, this does not in the least diminish the unique character of Pyrgos, which remains one of the most picturesque and beloved destinations for both Greek and foreign visitors to the Cyclades.
