Vous pouvez marcher le long des falaises de Fira Ă Oia, Ă environ 11 km. Commencez le matin quand il fait frais et assurez-vous d'emporter beaucoup d'eau, une collation, de la crĂšme solaire, des lunettes de soleil et un chapeau!
Il y a aussi un sentier qui commence au village de Vothonas, serpente Ă travers Pyrgos et continue jusqu'Ă Profitis Ilias (environ 567 mĂštres d'altitude). De lĂ , le sentier continue vers l'ancienne Thira et ensuite jusqu'Ă Perissa. Ce sentier offre des vues spectaculaires sur l'Ăźle et prendra 2 Ă 2. 5 heures plus le temps que vous passez Ă l'ancienne Thira.
We had a fantastuc time staying at the beautifully and imaginatively restored Spiti-Stelios. We greatly valued the communication with Caroline and Stelios and the welcome we received from Ester. Thank you. We generally felt very 'cared-for' during our stay and really appreciated the welcome pack and complimentary items. After our days out exploring, it felt like a special haven to step back into the court yard and up to our very own sunset terrace. With heartfelt thanks to Stelios and Caroline for sharing their home.
Excellent communication with the property manager prior to arrival and throughout the stay. They were available and quick to respond, and offered good suggestions for things to do, including making bookings for us. Transport from the airport was arranged and worked great with rental cars delivered the next morning.
One thing to be aware of is that there is a steep ascent with steps from the car parking to the property and Pyrgos in general. It is not wheel chair accessible, and you need to be ready for a short but significant climb to the property carrying all your belongings with you. This was not a problem for us, but it could be good if this was mentioned in the property description.
The fridge was well stocked on arrival to take us through until we could go to a supermarket.
There are several good restaurants in Pyrgos within walking distance. Particularly Xeporto at the Ikio Concept can be recommended.
We will highly recommend this property and Pyrgos for a family or small group of friends that are looking for a quiet place for a vacation.
Many thanks to Caroline and Ester. We had a great time, and we hope to return again one day.
My family and me stayed at Spiti Stelios for one week, the owner checked everything for us, transfer to the house, car for the week which was brought, the fridge was filled with the basics including wine...the house was just perfect for us, we enjoyed having breakfast outdoor, the sunset on the terrace, bed- and bathrooms where very clean and comfortable. The location of the house is perfect, view to both sides the caldera and the open sea, an area where it is quiet and calm but only a few minutes away from some of the best restaurants on the island. We will come again.
We stayed at Carolineâs place in June during a heat wave and found it a cool and wonderful retreat during our weeklong stay on Santorini! I cannot understate how beautiful this place is! It is beautifully appointed and has everything you need and so many unique features that make it feel authentic and special. We had lots of space for our group of four to relax together and have time on our own.
I loved the location in the quiet village and we had excellent food and coffee everywhere we went and only a short walk away.
I would note that though I was warned I didnât fully understand that you cannot drive to the place, you park and walk uphill about 6 minutes into the area of the village only accessible by foot or donkey. This created a challenge for the fifth member of our party who uses a wheelchair. The host dropped everything to help us solve this issue, finding an affordable single room near by.
Very special place with amazing hosts that go above and beyond.
We just spent eight wonderful days in Pyrgos at Spiti Stelioâs.
The villa is amazing and within easy walking distance to six wonderful restaurants/Tavernas
Both Caroline and Ester were amazing and responded immediately to our questions.
We would definitely recommend staying here and we would love to return in the future.
The cave house and its amenities were amazing!! The sunsets and sunrises were both beautiful from the roof top patio. I would most definitely stay here again, especially if you like to cook while youâre traveling like I do. The kitchen was very well stocked!
From the get go, this was an awesome experience. Communication with the owner gave us guidance on transfers to and from airport. Ester, our contact on site, was wonderful, she helped us with everything, she had wine, eggs, bead and stuff waiting for us in the home. She assisted in getting us taxis to and from places, she went above and beyond what we expected! I highly recommend this place, it's perfect, from rooftop views, location to Pyrgos village (which is great and less tourists than Fira and Oia)...will definitely come back here. Thank you for a memorable experience.
We stayed at Spiti_Stelios last September and were so captivated by the house, the island, the hospitality and the attentiveness of the hosts, we had to return. This time, for 2 weeks! And once again, we had the experience of a lifetime. We sailed the Caldera with Vista Yachting (twice!) we explored the Akrotiri ruins, the tomato museum, several wineries including Gaia, Estate Argyos, the art museum and more. We dined at Metaxi Mas which was one of the highlights of the trip and visited our friends (servers) at Kantouni in the Pygros village square several times. They greeted us fondly and we felt as if weâd been reunited with family. Additional dining delights included Agaze, Mythos and of course beach side dining in Kamari. These wonderful island experiences are only amplified by the beautifully appointed Spiti Stelios and the truly exceptional hospitality that Ester, Caroline and Stelios provide. I feel so lucky to have found this gem of a home to share with friends and family. And we are counting the days until we return next year! When you find a place this special⊠that can be the only plan. â€ïž
Spiti Stelios was the perfect holiday home for us. It is well equipped and very comfortable. The house has been built in a traditional design giving it a historical ethos but with modern conveniences. The roof terrace gives sensational views across Santorini and beyond. Carolyn and Ester were fantastic hosts making sure we had everything we needed and more. We had a wonderful 2 weeks in Santorini and in particular loved Pyrgos. I would thoroughly recommend Spiti Stelios and would like to thank Carolyn, Stelios and Ester for their kindness and attention.
We spent a week in Santorini and drove all around the island, and without a doubt I would choose to stay in Pyrgos at Spiti Stelios again! The location is really central to everything on the island, and with the elevation of the town, you have a 360 view of the island. From the rooftop deck, you can see both the Caldera side and the Seaside at the same time, making for fantastic sunset and sunrise views. The house itself is beyond charming, with cool nooks and comfortable bedrooms, a very nicely stocked kitchen with full size fridge, and everything you can think of to make your stay comfortable. The separate suite is downstairs and accessible by the back gate or through the larger bedroom. My teenage son stayed in that room and loved having his personal "cave." The front courtyard is a great place to gather for meals or for kids to play (with supervision, as steps to rooftop are in courtyard). It is a short walk into the charming town of Pyrgos through winding lanes with stunning views at every turn. Once there, you find a variety of delicious restaurants and tavernas, lovely shops, and far less crowded than Oia or Fira. We recommend Cava Alta - truly delicious! We also had the most delicious affogato at Kasteli. And morning coffees at Penelope's were delightful! We can't say enough good things about Ester and Caroline who had amazing communication all through, and Ester provided concierge service, even bringing breakfast ingredients for us on the first day! Thank you both!
It was a pleasure staying at Caroline and Steliosâs house. From being met by their friend Esther and being shown around the property to the welcome pack of food and enough bottled water to last all week to the comfortable beds and lounge it was like staying in a home from home.
Caroline checked regularly that everything was okay and Esther met us on our final day to collect the keys.
The only negative was that the listing states that there are 3 bathrooms but there are only two (unless you count the outside shower).
Iâm not often lost for words, but this home, these hosts, this location and this Island was so special I find it hard to express just how special. I had booked this in February and as we neared September and anticipation built, I hoped the property would be everything it seemed to be. But in fact, it was so much more. Ester greeted us promptly at 4:00, walked us through this idyllic property and even set us up with local wine, butter eggs, bread, milk, orange juice and coffee! The house sits high up in Pyrgos and the views are truly spectacular from the roof deck where we spent many an evening sipping wine, eating bread, olive oil and feta. We dined in virtually every local restaurant in and around the village and returned to a couple within our week stay because we loved the servers and the food so much. We toured the wine museum, the black sand beaches, Fira, took a sail and swim to the hot springs and hiked the volcanic landscape, spent an afternoon in Oia and just immersed ourselves in this warm, welcoming island. Our hosts were extraordinary in terms of responding to any texts/questions. And communicated so seamlessly leading up to the trip so we could plan ahead in terms of activities and transportation.
Leaving was so hard and I can honestly say a piece of my heart is there, in that home, atop that gem of an island. And somehow, some way, I will get back to Spiti Stelios and Santorini. Thank you for the most magnificent experience and for helping me create such treasured memories with my daughter. I already miss it so.
This property is amazing. Lots of space for a family (or friends - I was traveling with family). The owners are incredibly responsive and helpful. They even helped us order dinner on our first night since it was a long day of travel! The house is pristine and convenient to many areas in town. You can walk to many restaurants tucked into the narrow streets, and you can even walk down to the square for more food, a pharmacy, and so on. The views from the terrace are amazing, and there is always some business that sets off fireworks around 9 pm, which are clearly visible from the terrace.
The beds are extremely comfortable, and the sheets are really nice cotton. The pillows are divine. I mention this because I feel comfortable beds and bedding are important.
Excellent location with phenomenal view of the water and neighboring cities.
The property has an interesting story as a former winery.
We appreciated the well supplied amenities.
Highly rated!!
As mentioned in the title, this is a wonderful property and the town was exactly what my wife and I were looking for in our Greece vacation. The town of Pyrgos is charming, and the sunsets are astounding. The home met all of our needs. It was well appointed, and we were comfortable from the moment we arrived. Caroline and Stelios, the owners, and Ester, their friend and our local contact, were always available to answer any questions. They were accommodating and flexible and incredibly kind and gracious. Ester provided recommendations for places to visit and see, and to eat. She made reservations for us at an Amoudi Bay restaurant which was phenomenal (Katinaâs Fish House). The house is exactly as it appears in the pictures. It is a traditional Santorinian home. The outdoor space is exceptional, and we found ourselves enjoying a glass of wine on the rooftop every evening. The view from the courtyard, out the front door is simply stunning. You can see nearly the entirety of the island from there, or mere steps outside the property. The views include Fira and Oia. We could not more highly recommend this property.
Thank you Caroline, Stelios, and Ester!
Spiti Stelios is een prachtig huis en van alle gemakken voorzien. Geschikt voor 6 personen. Klein minpuntje is dat de eenpersoonskamer, grenzend aan de woonkamer, geen deur heeft.
Om het huis te bereiken moet je een klein klimmetje maken. Het dakterras biedt een geweldig uitzicht, maar is minder geschikt voor (kleine) kinderen.
Het contact met/de informatie van de eigenaresse en beheerster was helemaal top.
Das Haus ist herrlich gelegen, mit einem traumhaften Blick ĂŒber gesamt Santorin.
Der Service vor und nach der Reise war von Carolin hervorragend, ebenso wie der Service vor Ort von der netten Esther.
Hervor zu heben ist die erste Grundausstattung mit Brot, Wasser, Honig und vorallem gekĂŒhlter Wein - so haben wir, meine Frau, mein erwachsener Sphn und ich es noch nie erlebt !!
