This is a very special old house from the nineteen century which has been renovated with tremendous taste and respect for the original structure by Anna. The house features a very special cupole-cross-like structure to better resist to earthquakes. The ceiling in the middle of the bedroom is probably more than 4 meters high... The village Mesa Goniá still preserves some of the original atmosphere. With a 15 minutes walk from the house, mostly between vineyards, you can visit the magnificent Panagia Episcopi a beautiful small church dating back to the XI century. Anna drove us to a breakfast place nearby. The night before she insisted to drive us to the nearby restaurant (we eventually decided to walk)... She has been incredibly kind to us and all three of us found chatting with her very stimulating

Pyrgos is a lovely traditional Greek village with very friendly locals. It gets busy at certain times when the cruise tours visit. A steep walk up to the castle & church is worth it for the amazing views. The little supermarket sells most things you would need. We ate at Mythos Grill in the village, lovely food at a reasonable price and good sized portions

We spent two weeks on the island in Fira, We stayed one week on the east side and one week on the west side. The east side of the island is quieter. You need to walk to shops and restaurants - uphill, so lots of cardio! We stayed at Hill Suites. A lovely, relaxing and private accommodation with a perfect lanai breakfast every morning. Thomas, the manager was an excellent host! The second week we spent on the caldera side. Very busy!!!! Shops and restaurants surround you. No cars here. Streets are lovely, narrow, winding paths leading you from one surprise to another. Everywhere the views are stunning! The best resource on the island is the bus terminal located in Fira. This terminal is a hub and spoke terminal. All buses leave and return to this terminal each trip. You can go anywhere for 2 euros one way. An excellent way to see the island! The buses run frequently so if you miss one, don't worry there will be another shortly. They also service the airport! Across the street from the bus depot is the Museum. A must see after you have visited the excavations at Akrotiri at the south end of the island. Really, find yourself a spot to sit and enjoy a beverage while taking in the view and watching the activities around you. Remember to breathe. Relax. Enjoy.

Hire a Car if You would like to visit the rest of Santorini... Taxis are expensive and You need to negotiate prices or You will be ripped off...no Bus to Vourvoulos but easy to park your Hire Car. Great Village Location!
