"Pyrgos, at the foot of Profitis Ilias mountain, the island’s high point, is the largest and best-preserved of the medieval settlements. It is more peaceful and more Greek than the white towns on the cliff edges. Worn stone stairs wind elegantly upwards to the Venetian castle. Part of the way up is Voreina Gallery Suites, where contemporary art fills the walls and the caldera and sunsets can be seen from terraces without the taxi fare to Oia. —Timothy O'Grady Book now at Booking.com Book now at Agoda" - Lauren Burvill
