I think I like Pyrgos more than Fira or Oia. The views are amazing and it's not as crowded with tourists. But it's close by bus to Fira and Akrotiri.
This apartment is lovely. It's quiet and well appointed. Nikos and his mother were delightful hosts, who greeted me in person and had the apartment ready with fruit and a glass of local wine. You will need to walk to the bus (about 10 minutes) or have a car.
Nikos is probably the most responsive host I've ever stayed with. He is very quick to respond.
