You won't regret driving 30 kilometers from Tinos to visit the small town of Pyrgos whose houses are real works of art: located near the marble quarries, the village integrates marble in its physiognomy with great ingenuity. A school of fine arts, opened in 1955, encourages the continuation of this tradition of marble sculpture and helps to maintain a creative, young and dynamic life. A museum dedicated to marble also welcomes visitors since 2008. Several great Greek artists were born in Pyrgos, including the sculptor Yannoulis Halepas (1851-1938) whose house has been transformed into a museum.
