AFOURA HOUSES by K&K is in Exo Gonia, in Pyrgos, a village in the inland part of Santorini, built around a Venetian castle. The area has vineyards, wineries and narrow cobbled lanes; it is quieter than the tourist centres along the caldera and suits those who prefer travelling by car and want to explore the island away from the crowds.
Art Space Santorini, an art venue in the same area, is 200 m away, and Pyrgos Venetian Castle is 910 m away, with views across much of the island. The Koutsogiannopoulos Wine Museum is also in the area, where the route passes through old cellars and winemaking tools, while the wineries around Pyrgos offer tastings of volcanic white wines. Ancient Thera, the ancient city on Mesa Vouno, is near Kamari, while the Central Bus Station is 4.1 km away and the nearest airport is Santorini International Airport.
For a day by the sea, Kamari Beach is 2.5 km away, with black pebbles and tavernas by the water, and Perissa Beach is a little further on. The best time to visit Pyrgos is from May to October, when the sea is warm and the vineyards are green. You could start the morning with a walk through Pyrgos's lanes and end the day with a glass of wine in the property's garden.
