It is a pleasure to wander through the labyrinth of alleys in the authentic little village of Pyrgos, where, between the whitewashed houses, your gaze will plunge down to the turquoise waters below. Crossing the threshold of Zannos Melathron is like walking into a delightful dream. Standing with its back to the rock face, this house used to belong to a local ship owner and is a maze of vaulted rooms and romantic alcoves, with high ceilings and mellow lighting. Head for the outdoor terrace to wine and dine while gazing into the eyes of your loved one or at the blue sea all around you, for this is the highest hotel on the island and there is a 360 degree view. In the evening, the flickering candle light mingles with the twinkling lights of the town far below.
