Pyrgos Dirou (Greek: Πύργος Διρού) is a town in Mani, Laconia, Greece.
The earliest known mention of the toponym Dirou dates back to 1336, written as Iro, when it was a property of Nikolaos Atsagioli near Tzimova (the old name of Areopoli).
In June 1826, the beach of Dirou was the site of a battle between Greeks and Egyptians, with the Maniots managing to defeat Ibrahim Pasha's forces.
The complex features a six-storey tower, possibly the tallest in Mani,[5] a long two-storey house with an upper floor, water tanks, and a family chapel with a cemetery.
[9] The old school of Pyrgos Dirou has been designated as a historic preserved monument due to the way materials from earlier buildings have been incorporated into it.
