A small fishing village on the western Sithonia coast. Three tavernas walking distance from the gate, an old harbour two minutes from the door.
«Καλημέρα»
Greek for "good morning." A word you'll hear from the bakery line, from the harbour men mending nets, from Nikos when he comes by with bread.
Pyrgadikia is small. A handful of tavernas a short walk from the gate, a shop on the square, a church on the hill, and a harbour where the day still ends with men mending nets. Quiet on weekdays, lively on summer Saturdays when the locals return from Thessaloniki.
Greek tourism never quite arrived here in the way it did the rest of the peninsula, and that's the point.
Five-minute walk down the hill. Fishermen come in at dusk; small boats for hire by the day.
All within two minutes of the door. Fresh fish, octopus on the grill, retsina from up the hill.
The village square comes alive on Saturday nights in summer, locals back from the city, kids on bikes.
The mini-market on the square has bread, fruit, oil, wine, and the basics. Closes at 9.
A four-bedroom traditional house above the bay. Hosted by Asterios and his father Nikos for thirteen years.
