Pyrgos is an amazingly beautiful little town and is was a real pleasure to live in the middle of it. Stella's house is exactly as you see it in the photographs - small but perfectly formed, and very well equipped. We found the washing machine and various coffee makers especially useful. Although the house is very close to the Platanos square with all the cafes, which open until late at night, it is very quiet - there are no cars, and the neighbours are very friendly and quiet. We often met our friends in the square, and our children (13 and 10) were able to move about independently as this is a very safe place. We visited the Marble Museum and hiked over the hills to the sea a few times but also enjoyed discovering beaches further afield, for which you will need to rent a car (or take taxis). Stella was very helpful in organising taxis for us. We all loved staying here and hope to be back!
