It is my pleasure to review Takis and Mika's lovely holiday house in Serifos. The house is located at the center of the beautiful bay of Ganema, probably the best beach on Serifos complete with its readitional Taverna right at the edge of the bay. Takis and Mika awaited our arrival at the port and escorted us to the house, making sure we have everything we need. The house had everything we needed for our stay and was clean and welocoming. Perhaps the best part was the fact that we found much in common with Takis, Mika and their lovely son, George, and so we were lucky enough to have some of the island's best spots introduced to us by them. We felt as if we have found true friends, warm, welcoming, kind and generous. After a couple of days we spent with them they left us to enjoy the peace and quiet of the house, making sure everything is ok once in a while.
The house itself is perfect for a family of four. It is beautiful, built in a very unique and traditional style with a gorgeous balcony where we spent lovely afternoons. The house is well equipped with kitchen utencils -- if you like to cook... and has a really nice set for listening to music as well as a great dvd player. Bedroom were nice, cool and awaited for us with clean linen and great beach towels... Serifos itself is a wonderful Island. People are friendly, food is good and there are quite a few excellent beaches. We enjoyed our local beach at Ganema, the unique Mega Livadi beach which looks as if it had frozen in time - and the lovely Cyclop restaurant Takis and Mika introduced us to. Two other of our favourite beaches were Vagia, a 2 minute drive or a nice walk away, and the sandy Pssili Amos beach with its lovely Taverna. Another great place to visit is of course the beautiful Chora with its picturesque winding streets, where our kind hosts introduced us to the special local home made liquor -- Rackomello...
I cannot end this story without mentioning how lucky we felt when our son became friends with George and how inspite of the lack of verbal communication they were able to play together, fish and spend a great time with one another.
We were sorry to leave the house and Island, but will always remember the great time we had there....
