Vithos Aparthotel is a small beachfront complex, located right on the sea front at Pera Yialos beach, offering 13 self-catering studios and apartments boasting an exquisite view of Chora and the Venetian Castle. Brilliant white dominates indoor and outdoor building surfaces, modern living spaces feature enhanced privacy and comfort, while the refreshing sea breeze boosts the unparalleled sea view.

Pera Gyalos, that once used to be the main port of the island, is located at the foot of the hill, on top of which stands the Venetian Castle overlooking the main village of the island (Chora) that spreads out amphitheatrically on the hill’s slope. The area of Pera Gyalos boasts a lovely pebbly beach, fringed by tamarisk trees, that is well protected by the wind. Gift shops, traditional restaurants, coffee and pastry shops line the beach and can be visited throughout the day. The archaeological museum, located right in the heart of Pera Gyalos, houses a small collection of artifacts narrating the island’s history through the centuries. Nearby, lies the blue domed Church of St.Nicholas with its lovely courtyard. Since 2005, when the new port of Agios Andreas was established, Pera Gyalos plays host to sailing boats, yachts and fishing boats in its marina area, as well as to the local ferry connecting Astypalaia to Kalymnos. Excursion boats leave the Pera Gyalos’ pier daily throughout the summer holiday season to take visitors across the bay to the nearby islets. Many of the public services are concentrated in the area.
