Gated
Aperlae's Purple House lies beyond. The name of the place is derived from the dye that was produced here from murex trunculus snails in ancient times, not the color of the house itself. Note the strings of snail shells hanging on the gate.
If memory serves, Purple House seemed more like a junked up castaway hippie refuge.
