The village of Pirgou is 21km southwest from Iraklion on the road Iraklion - Voutes - Agios Miron - Pirgou. It contains some interesting Byzantine churches.

Although only 350 people, the village is small, picturesque, has a very old cemetary and lovely historic byzantine church surrounded by grape vines and olive groves. The view is spectacular!
