Highly recommend this place if you want to stay in an authentic village away from the hustle and bustle of bigger cities like Fira and Oia. When we arrived to Pyrgos, we got lost (issue with maps, plus later on we didn’t have wifi) and a local helped us call Christos who came to get us immediately. Along with his friend, they both helped us carry our luggage up the hill to the apartment. They organised an ATV for us at short notice, as well as a transfer to the port when our bus failed to show up after over an hour of waiting.
Not only was his service outstanding, but the apartment itself is beautiful and exactly like the pictures. We loved how it was kept true to its heritage but also quirky and refurbished. It’s nice and spacious too, which can be hard to find in Santorini (we’ve stayed in a few other the more well known areas and this was our fav).
The bed is comfortable, they tidied up and refilled the espresso pods each day and we loved relaxing on the couch watching Netflix after long days of adventures. The location was perfect for what we wanted, we enjoyed exploring the town and finding quaint little shops making handmade jewellery and trinkets etc that you couldn’t find in the more touristy areas. From here we rode around to all the best beaches, and many other recommendations that Christos gave us.
We 100% would stay here again, in fact we are already thinking about coming back next year. Thanks again Christos for all your help! If you’re reading this, do yourself a favour and book this room if you want to have a more unique experience of the island :)
