Pyrgos Village |
||||
This is the largest and most distant village on Tinos, lying 29 kilometers northwest of Tinos Town. It is a village of very traditional architecture and has been historically linked with marble carving, for which Tinos is well known. There are numerous small carving studios in the village, along with many cafes and other small shops. The central square has a beautiful old plane tree and a marble spring, and is an idyllic setting for an afternoon coffee or a cold drink. There is also a School of Fine Arts located in the village, and two beautiful churches. The main road from Pyrgos leads down to the Port of Panormos, four kilometers away, which is a delightful seaside harbor with tavernas and fish restaurants. |
