The Rough Guide to the Greek Islands calls Glossa `a quite beautiful, totally Greek town`. Correct! (Although with a thousand houses it is really a village) But it is out of date in one important detail. Glossa now has excellent water pressure year-round since the drilling of new boreholes.In ancient times, boats were beached in Loutraki, but when pirates were spotted the people retreated up the hill to Glossa. Glossa and Loutraki remain two sides of the same coin today.
Glossa is … 
... a traditional Greek village where visitors are made welcome
... the balcony of the Aegean with some of the best views of any Greek island
... the starting point for beautiful country walks – some ending at deserted beaches
