The artist town of Pirgos - one of the main attractions on Tinos

The artist town of Pirgos is the biggest tourist attraction on Tinos after Panagía Evangelistría. The town, which is considered the most beautiful on Tinos, and one of the most beautiful in the Cyclades, spreads out in a valley all the way up to the north, approx. 25 kilometers from Tinos town. There is a bus there from the harbor in the capital.

One of the attractions in Pirgos is the house of the sculptor Giannoulis Chalepas, now a museum. The house is exactly as it was when he died in 1938. In the picture you see the boy with the corn neck, which is one of his works.
