Pyrgos is officially comprised of two villages, the larger Kato Pyrgos (Greek: Κάτω Πύργος) and the smaller Pano Pyrgos (Πάνω Πύργος). Together they have around 3000 inhabitants. Pyrgos is the only Cypriot town located on the Morphou Bay controlled by the Greek-Cypriot government. Due to its location, being surrounded by the Troodos Mountains, the Turkish controlled exclave of Kokkina, and the Green Line, it is rather isolated and difficult to reach and gets significant numbers of visitors only in August during summer vacation.
Kato Pyrgos
A Green Line crossing point is planned near Kato Pyrgos to facilitate travel from there to Nicosia, but these plans have been put off for the time being.
