Pyrgos (Greek: Πύργος) is a mountain village located in Corinthia, Greece. It is part of the municipality of Xylokastro-Evrostina.[2]
It is 10 kilometres south of Derveni and 66 kilometres northwest of Korinthos. From Athens, it takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes with A8 Olympia Odos, the national road that connects Pyrgos Ilias with Elefsina Attikis, and a provincial road that connects Lygia with Zougra.
There is a local monument that is called Pyrgos Kordi (Greek: ο Πύργος του Κορδή) that Greeks used to fight against the Ottoman Turks, and now it is a museum.
