圣岛冒险记 – Pyrgos小镇兜一兜 *Exploring Santorini – A Short Visit to Pyrgos (6 June 09)

在Apanemo旅馆只租了2晚，没办法，如果找一些订房的话，就不用搬到另一间旅馆了。
那一天特别早起身，为的只是腰捕抓旅馆最早晨的太阳。4:30am之前起床，还好赶得及太阳上山之前。等了大概20分钟，整个过程只需区区的5分钟而已，太阳就完全的从山后跳出来了。拍完了后继续回房盖被睡觉！

We managed to rent a room at Hotel Apanemo for only 2 days. On the same day before leaving the hotel, I woke up before 4:30am, was hoping to snap a few photos before and during sun rises. I waited for about 20 minutes; the sun took less than 5 minutes to rise completely from behind the hill. After shooting mission is accomplished, I went back to my warm bed and continued sleeping.

早餐后直接拉着行李check-out。由于和check-in另一间旅馆的时间距离很大，我们载着行李到处在圣岛上跑。跟着圣岛地图乱跑乱撞，撞进来了Pyrgos镇。

早在1800年前，Pyrgos是圣岛的首都。众多镇之中，Pyrgos位于最高的水平位。今天的Pyrgos依然美丽，以往的传统屋很多都还好好的背包留下来。

We checked out from the hotel straight after having breakfast. We had about 4 hours before checking into the next hotel, so we decided to drive around Santorini and somehow we ended up stopping by at Pyrgos.

Before 1800, Pyrgos used to be the capital city of Santorini. This town stands on the highest ground of the island. There are still lots of old houses left behind.

Pyrgos一共有33间教堂，这只是在山顶上的其中一间。
All together there are 33 churches in Pyrgos. This one is just one of them.

喜欢Pyrgos因为这里有一种很古老的感觉。。。。
I like Pyrgos as this place is old and classic.

小巷虽然看起来很残旧，但别有一番风味。

又见另一间教堂。
Found another church on our way walking up the hill.

见到一只很爱缠人的猫。

Pyrgos的旧屋。很喜欢这样的屋子。
I like old houses in Pyrgos.

爬到山顶最高处看风景。
On most top of the hill.

这可能是葡萄园，可能是番茄园，也可能是橄榄树园。
Not sure what kind of plantation was that. It could be grapes, tomato or olive.

走下山时又见另一间教堂。
Found another church on our way walking down the hill.

后来开车在圣岛上乱跑。。。。这是Pyrgos 镇附近的一个教堂。
Found a church somewhere not far from Pyrgos town.

一路上见到很多蓝顶教堂。

下车拍照的时候一直嗅到香味，原来附近的仙人掌开花，发出的那种香味非常的特别，很香很香！
It’s flower of cactus, this flower smells really good!!

除了栽种葡萄，这里也栽种了很多橄榄树。
Olive.

虽然是野生仙人掌，但每一颗都长得很大颗。
Wild cactus.

Hotel Hellas 的外观。

很普通的一间3床房。其实我也不是很清楚为什么给我们3隔床。Check-in的时候小华还问我是不是旅馆的老板娘看到3个人？哈哈哈。。。。
It was just an ordinary room with 3 single beds. Not sure why the owner gave us 3 beds room? I was wondering did she see us in 3 instead of 2? Hehe...

Hotel Hellas 一个晚上€40。不太喜欢这一家旅馆。原因很简单，由于这家旅馆面向干干的土地，土地前面才是爱情海，这里因而有很多飞尘。这里又有制止热水时间，有一点不太方便。好处是：旅馆旁边就是免费停车场，房外有一个露台可以看从水面跳出来的日出。

The rental was just €40 per night. I don’t really like this hotel. Personally I think this place is a little bit dusty (this hotel is facing dry land and Aegean Sea, when wind blows, it blows dusk towards the hotel) and there is a time set for hot water supply. Two positive evaluations about this hotel: You will be able to see sun rises from the sea (there is a balcony without anything blocking the view) and a free car park site is just next to the hotel.

This hotel looks a bit old.
