One of the calmest areas of Santorini is the village of Pyrgos. You can reach it by car within 5-10 minutes from Fira. It used to be the capital of Santorini back in 1800. The island’s highest peak is located in Pyrgos. It’s called Prophet Elias and has the most panoramic views of the entire island. For wine lovers, the Drosou-Chrysou winery is the perfect spot for a glass of wine paired with a history lesson about Santorini and wines.
