Discover Pyrgos

 
Pyrgos is a small, picturesque city located in the south of Cyprus. Its whitewashed alleyways and terracotta-roofed houses give it a timeless, traditional feel. It is known for its laidback atmosphere and stunning views of the Troodos Mountains.

The most popular attraction in Pyrgos is the 12th century church of Panagia Theotokou which dates back to the Byzantine period. This beautiful old structure stands proudly atop a hill and offers panoramic views of the surrounding area. When visiting this historical site you can explore its well-preserved frescoes and murals depicting scenes from both Old and New Testament stories.

Another highlight in Pyrgos is Vasa Village which was built by Venetian conquerors during the Middle Ages. The village has retained its original architecture with many cobbled streets still lined with traditional stone-built homes leading to ancient churches, such as St Dimitriou Church dating back to 1610 AD. In addition, visitors often take advantage of its proximity to Psilo Dendro Park; an ancient pine forest ideal for leisurely hikes or wildlife spotting opportunities away from city life .
