It may seem strange but the island
of Santorini, before touristic
development, was relatively poor, with a completely different
daily routine. If you want to get a glimpse of this
different Santorini, there are two photography exhibitions going on in Pyrgos, The first is an exhibition of photographs,
documents and materials entitled "Scenes from the recent past:
Land, Production and
Society in Santorini of the 60s"
by architect Tonia Nousia and reminds us of Santorini in the 1960s.
The second photography exhibition is entitled “More than a Century ago: The gaze of the Photographer Antonis Lagadas
through his Images”. The photographer was born in Pyrgos, Santorini and his
photos depict places, people and events from Greece, including Santorini, from
1890 till 1916.
The two
exhibitions are held in Kasteli 1663 art gallery and café at the entrance of Pyrgos’ castle.
Open daily:
10.00 – 20.00. Free Admission.
