We absolutely loved our time at Dimitra's place in Pyrgos. From the moment I made the reservation to the time we checked out, Dimitra did everything possible to make sure that our trip went smoothly. She is a kind, positive, and hardworking host who puts her guests first. She literally goes the extra mile for her guests - helping lug their suitcases up and down Pyrgos' narrow alleyways (those with disabilities/limited mobility might have difficulty climbing the stairways up). I have been to many AirBnBs, but I have never encountered hospitality like Dimitra's.
The cave house is simply beautiful. The property has belonged to Dimitra's family for a long time, and it is obvious that she takes pride in maintaining it immaculately. It is incredibly clean, brightly decorated, and although it is a traditional local house, it has all the modern amenities. Dimitra generously provides breakfast foods for each day, including delicious treats from her family's bakery.
Pyrgos is also an ideal location for exploring the island, and the cave house is located right in the center of the old village. It is best to hire a car to reach the other more touristy parts of the island, but the bus stop is about 5 minutes down the hill from the house for those who choose not to drive.
As many of the guidebooks will tell you, Pyrgos is a delight in and of itself. It has excellent restaurants and cafes, and unlike and Oia and Fira, it has not been spoiled by the tourist trade (no crowds here!). You can wander through its ancient passageways almost in solitude. Gorgeous views are to be found around every corner - the sunset here was one of the most spectacular I've ever seen.
