In the alleys of Pyrgos, Tinos.

Pyrgos is the largest village of Tinos and is located in the northwestern part of the island, 23 km from the city of Tinos, in the historic community of Panormos. It is an artistic center as it featured some of the most important Greek artists. In 2015, Tinian Marble was included in the Unesco list of the most characteristic manifestations of the intangible cultural wealth of mankind and the whole village was characterized as an open museum. The School of Fine Arts operates in Pyrgos, which continues the tradition of marble with students from all over the world. Arriving at the entrance of the village the first thing you will encounter is the marble stop. Walking you will see the metropolis, Agios Nikolaos (1874), the cemetery with the famous tombstones of famous sculptures - it could also be referred to as an open-air sculpture - the museum Marble, the museum of Tinian Artists, the museum-house of Giannoulis Halepas and the marble fountain in the village square.

an attractive scene, if quiet without any people...good emphasis on the facades, some colourful, some with intriguing signs..
