What a great find. A place of solitude, peace and privacy on the otherwise crowded island of Santorini.
Pyrgos is a wonderful central location to stay: close to the hustle and bustle of Fira. And this accommodation is literally steps from its square and its many tavernas, kiosks and restaurants. (The scooter rental shop was so close, I left the scooter parked there while I took my afternoon break.) The bus stop is just down the steps. And the many marked walking/hiking paths are at your door, including an afternoon hike up to Profitis Elias (bring water, of course).
Day trips to Oia and Fira and a tour of the island (via scooter) were super convenient, but I always looked forward to retuning to this quiet oasis on the otherwise crowded island (and I was there in peak tourist season). Truly a unique experience and one of the highlights in my many global travels throughout the years. Many thanks to the host!
