Castles & palaces
Pyrgos
Santorini, Greece
Pyrgos Castle crowns the highest village in Santorini, originally built to stave off pirates and offering a 360-degree panorama over the island since the 15th century. Its labyrinth of winding paths leads to the remains of the Venetian fortifications, where you can touch the sun-bleached stones of a long-forgotten world.
