Presentation of Pyrgos

The municipality of Pyrgos (47,995 inhabitants in 2011; 45,510 ha) was formed in the 2011 local government reform by the merger of the former municipalities of Iardanos (Ιάρδανος, 4,013 inh.), Oleni (Ωλένη, 9,026 inh.), Pyrgos (35,572 inh.), and Volakas (Βώλακας, 3,552 inh.).

Pyrgos (lit., "a tower") is located in the western part of the Peloponnese, in the middle of a plain, 4 km from the Ionian Sea.
