Pyrgos, another beautiful town in Santorini

>> Friday, 11 July 2008

Pyrgos is a town in Santorini, located about 5 mins away from Fira. If you are going up north or towards Fira and coming from Perisa, Perivolos or any southern parts of Santorini, you will definitely pass by the junction that turns into Pyrgos.

A church that overlooks the ocean

Pyrgos is a small town, quiet however the scenery is pretty good.

Cross lightning arrestors

Of course, there will be churches with blue domes and bells.

This is not an ash tray

It is easy to get to the roof of the houses in Santorini. However, I was getting clammy hands as I climb to the rooftop to explore something nice.

Blue dome and bells

This is another photo taken from the roof. Mind you, houses in Santorini are all cemented roof.

Stairs to the castle

A footpath towards the castelli. You definitely need to go through residential area to explore for better angles and scenery.

Another blue dome

They are pretty much the same though. Hope you are not bored with the blue domes yet.

Bells again

Found another coloured bells which are not completely white.

Thanks for viewing, I'll be off to Oslo, Norway for the weekend. Hopefully the weather is good. Catch you guys next week.

Not only does the city looks nice but the way you've captured it is amazing: so clear and blue collared!

Btw: Have a great trip to Oslo! Sorry I'm at our vacation home in Sweden right now. Hope you'll come back to Oslo later, so that we can meet!
