Marble Workshop
Unveiling the Soul of Marble
Regarded as one of the world’s most significant centers for marble artistry worldwide and an open-air marble museum, Pyrgos Village is the artistic heart of Tinos and the cradle of Greece’s finest sculptors. Within its maze of whitewashed houses and winding alleys, the evolution of this craft is on full display, from delicate lace-like reliefs to imposing structures.
