★★★★★Edited 3 months agoA short walk up to the top, and you’re greeted with a lovely setting and an amazing view. We had a couple of nice cold beers and some fresh food whilst the sunset. Well worth the visit is you’re saying in the area

★★★★★3 months agoFranco’s Cafe is a gem of pyrgos, and a favourite place to visit in my four years travelling to Santorini. Dimitrios and kallirois were warm, welcoming and the food was fantastic, coupled with a perfect view of the Santorini sunset. Thank you for another wonderful visit! ❤️
