Pyrgos (Greece)

18/4/2020

This week, I take you to my adopted country, on the island that saw my rebirth, and by the way, the Orthodox celebrates Easter this weekend, a week after the Catholics.
​
Follow me to Santorini, Greece, to my favourite village: Pyrgos!

And to start this article, let me share with you a small excerpt from my book My Solo Wedding in Santorini:
When I finally passed the ceremonial table to stand behind, I noticed my ring. It was arranged on a small marble tile with the effigy of Santorini, and a wreath of bay leaves drawn on it. I had found it a few days before, in a small souvenir shop in Pyrgos. We went to visit this small traditional village on the heights of Santorini, with my sister and her fiancé. I fell in love with the place, its ruined old castle at the top of the hill, its ramparts, its 48 churches ... A peaceful and mystical atmosphere. This magic that I cannot explain but that enchants the whole island.

​48 chapels or churches of any size, even though the village is very small, built on the hillside.

​Santorini had 5 Venetian castles in the 15th century, and Pyrgos was the administrative city of the island.

Time, but also the terrible earthquake of 1956, turned this fortress into ruins.

Its maze of small alleys - typical of medieval architecture - which go up and down, with a surprise at every corner ...

No matter where you are, the view of the vineyards and the sea is magnificent, not to mention the sunset.

Pyrgos has plenty of cafes, restaurants and taverns, some of the best on the island, with this tasty Greek cuisine that brings people together.
​
This is where I celebrated my birthday in 2018!

Easter celebrations are very important in Greece, and traditions are still well respected.
​
During Good Friday, Pyrgos lights up with thousands of lanterns and candles.
A wonderful video at the end of the article, to make you live this magic.
 
Take care and stay at home!
 
Καλό Πάσχα
 
Love & Light,
L.

    Confucius said nature makes men identical, life makes them different.
    I think that everything happens for a reason and every moment helps to build our personality.  I don't like rules, I follow mine. It is time for me to share my unconventional life and my unusual experience...
