The floors throughout the villa are traditional polished cement and are covered with beautiful Turkish rugs and flokatis.

THE VILLAGE OF PYRGOS This medieval jewel of hinterland is henceforth know as the trendiest village on the island. Situated 7,5klm from Fira, Pyrgos has become particularly known for its traditional Easter celebration, where a majority of the population gather to celebrate Good Friday. Even today the village maintains the urban planning and the characteristics of the Venetian domination, with the casteli (fortress) at the top of the mountain. During the 15th & 16th century the locals had to defend themselves from the plague of piracy, so they erected fortified buildings the kastelia. Pyrgos has the best preserved example of these medieval buildings on the island, situated in the foothills of Mesa Vouno. Following the road up from the main square (no cars allowed from that point) towards the castle, you come across a variety of colorful stone houses and a maze of lanes. You can catch your breath as soon as you reach the top of the hill, which is surrounded by a respectable amount of churches (around 33). From there you can enjoy the best panoramic view on the island; Fira, Messaria, Oia, Thirassia, it almost feels as you are on the deck of a boat; one of the best spots to watch the sunset
