Santorini Pyrgos and Megalochori village , Greece
Version en français plus bas
Pyrgos can found at the highest point of Santorini, with panoramic views of the whole island all the way to the village of Oia. This hillside village was declared a protected settlement in 1995.
Pyrgos is a typical Fortress Settlement of the Cyclades. On the hilltop you can find ruins of Kasteli Castle, one of the five 'kastelia' on the island. Although there are many reports that Pyrgos was the capital of Santorini in the mid 18th century, the truth is that Pyrgos has never been the island's capital.There is a memorial plaque near the entrance to the castle, commemorating those who died in the Second World War.
Megalochori is one of the most picturesque villages on the island. Its existence is recorded back to the 17th century.
Home to historical mansions, old traditional houses, pirate hideaways and wine canavas, it has a history of merchants and wealthy land barons exporting Vinsanto wine that the island still produces. A prominent feature of the historical homes and mansions are the high walls, inner courtyards and solid wooden door entrances, built for privacy and for safety against marauding pirates.
A great effort is been made by local residents and businessmen to preserve the characteristics and beauty of this traditional settlement, and many of the original houses that had fallen into disrepair, have been restored to their former glory.
Pyrgos peut être trouvé au point culminant de Santorin, avec des vues panoramiques de toute l'île tout le chemin vers le village d'Oia. Ce village de collines a été déclaré un règlement protégé en 1995.
Pyrgos est un établissement typique de la forteresse des Cyclades. Sur la colline vous pouvez trouver des ruines du château de Kasteli, l'un des cinq «kastelia» sur l'île. Bien qu'il y ait beaucoup de rapports que Pyrgos était la capitale de Santorini au milieu du 18ème siècle, la vérité est que Pyrgos n'a jamais été la capitale de l'île. Il ya une plaque commémorative près de l'entrée du château, commémorant ceux qui sont morts dans le Second Monde Guerre.
Megalochori est l'un des villages les plus pittoresques de l'île. Son existence est enregistrée au XVIIe siècle.
Accueil de manoirs historiques, de vieilles maisons traditionnelles, de refuges de pirate et de canavas de vin, il a une histoire des marchands et des barons riches de terre exportant le vin de Vinsanto que l'île produit toujours. Une caractéristique importante des maisons historiques et des manoirs sont les hauts murs, les cours intérieures et les entrées en bois solide porte, construit pour la vie privée et pour la sécurité contre les pirates marauding.
Un grand effort a été fait par les résidents locaux et les hommes d'affaires pour préserver les caractéristiques et la beauté de cette colonisation traditionnelle, et beaucoup de maisons originales qui étaient tombées dans le désordre, ont été reconstituées à leur gloire antérieure.

Santorini | Megalochori village
Megalochori Village in Greeks means Big Village. It may have earned its name before the age of tourism when Fira and Oia began to steal the show in Santorini. It's a village located just behind the cliffs overhanging the port of Athinios, which suggests it was once a market and trading town. Megalochori Village is a great destination to stay while visiting Santorini.

Santorini island GREECE - Karterados A remote traditional village
Looks like a Mexican village but it's not. It is one of the last traditional Santorini island villages that still stays remote and untouched. Visit Karterados and walk around its narrow streets to have the real feeling of a traditional Santorini neighborhood that comes out from the past. Center of Karterados which is like a Moroccan Kasbah has no access for cars and there are very few available rooms or studios for holiday rentals.

A walk through Megalochori, Santorini, Greece
I rented a car and went around the island. One of my stops were this little village, Megalochori. The name Megalochori consists of two greek words: Megalo, which means big and chori which is village. This village is not big at all but the name indicates what the village once was a long time ago. Around the village there are fields for cultivation of grapes. The grapes are used for wine production and mostly the grapes are used to produce the two white wines of Santorini, Assyrtico and Nycteri. Both of them are really delicious - Nycteri especially and both of them should be served cold.
The small churches you see are mostly private chapels or churches owned by families. The churches (oi eklisies) are closed most of the time and they are used only by the family for their own celebrations - for example name-day and weddings.
The small garden with the weird stone pattern is a miniature of the islands of Santorini. The big half-moon island is officially called Thira. In the middle there is a big volcanic crater called the Caldera. Inside the Caldera there are two small volcanic islands, Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni. On the other side of the Caldera there is a small island called Therasia and a small white island called Aspronisi.
Santorini is a beautiful island and it is definitely worth a visit. Santorini, my love, I will definitely see you again.
