The busy commercial town of Pyrgos in Elis (western Peloponnese) is believed to occupy the site of ancient Letrinoi. Most visitors see it only on the way to Olympia, 21km/13mi east.

Pyrgos is on the Peloponnese railroad line from Athens to Patras and Kalamáta and on the branch lines to Olympia and Katákolo. Buses from Athens and Patras.

Pyrgos is a delightful town with pretty squares and neoclassical buildings, including the municipal market and the municipal theater.
