Pyrgos is a nice town. the main street has good shopping. We were especially impressed by the museum. The map was easy to follow to get there. After ghe museum we took a cab to Olympia. Later we had a nice lunch back in Pyrgos.

Very fun tour, worth it! There were no drone stops, no photos or videos taken either, no soft drinks were served at dinner time.. But the tour is sensational, we know many amazing spots!

super fun Jeep tour where you see and learn a lot about Santorini in one day. Good communication and service from the owner!

Pretty tranquil, short as compared to others, but the city/town is interesting. Very easy to walk around.

Great experience and fun way to get a taste of the Island. Our guide F was great
