After a month at Christos's place, I was so delighted with everything that I immediately booked a second month! So I can tell you that even in winter, Christos's place is warm and welcoming. It is beautifully designed in traditional style, but newly built for contemporary comfort. Christos and his family went above and beyond to make my visit a wonderful experience. Not only was Christos there to meet me at the port when my ferry arrived, but his mother brought me supper on more one occasion and she and her friend spent the better part of a day taking me on a walking tour of the Chora; it was one of many magical days on Serifos. It was lovely to stay on the island long enough to see winter turn into spring. (The nearby local markets are remarkably well stocked, even in winter; some good tavernas are also open year-round, as is the bank and other essential services. ) Whenever you visit, you'll be staying in one of the best locations on the island, a very short walk to both the beach and the town. And the people of Serifos--wow, so gracious. Thank you, Christos, and your family, too, for your absolutely stellar hospitality. I miss Serifos already and hope to return some day.
